Plant Care
Plant Care
Watering
Water once soil begins to dry. Do not overwater and ensure the plant has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
Light
Low light will be tolerated but like all houseplants deep shade or no light at all will not go down well (unless it’s only for short periods). Some sun will be helpful, but harsh direct sunshine will scorch the leaves in time.
Temperature
Warmth is needed for actual growth to occur 20°C (68°F) – 27°C (80°F). A lower temperature is fine as the plant will still survive providing it doesn’t dip much below 10°C (50°F), just be aware that slow or no growth might be symptom of the temperature being too cold.
Fertilizer
fertilize about every three to four weeks with a water-soluble blend for houseplants. Just mix the product in the container you use for watering and apply with its regular water application.
