Plant Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Plenty of filtered light encourages flowering, while harsh midday sun should be avoided to prevent leaf scorch.
- Water: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil begins to dry. Keep the soil moderately moist during active growth but never soggy, and allow excess water to drain completely.
- Soil: Use a light, airy, well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. Added perlite or fine orchid bark can improve aeration and drainage.
- Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity with good air circulation. Avoid prolonged excessively dry conditions, which can affect foliage and flowering.
- Temperature: Thrives at approximately 18–27°C. Protect from cold drafts and prolonged temperatures below 13°C.
- Fertilizer: Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced or bloom-supporting liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted according to label directions. Reduce feeding during slower growth.
- Maintenance: Remove spent flowers and rotate the basket periodically for balanced growth. Consistent bright light and proper watering help encourage repeat blooming.
- Pruning: Pinch or trim trailing stems after flowering to encourage branching and maintain a dense, full appearance.
- Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots become crowded, using a slightly larger container with adequate drainage.
Note: Flower color, plant fullness, and growth habit may naturally vary from the product image. Hanging basket or plant pot may also vary in design. Most plants come in a one-time-use plastic grower pot or plastic hanging basket.
