Plant Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers medium to bright, indirect light. It tolerates lower light, but flowering may decrease. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
- Water: Keep the soil moderately moist, allowing the top 2–3 cm to dry slightly before watering again. Water thoroughly and allow excess moisture to drain; avoid leaving the roots waterlogged.
- Soil: Use a rich, well-draining indoor potting mix that retains some moisture while allowing adequate airflow around the roots.
- Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity. A humidifier or naturally humid room can help keep foliage lush and reduce dry leaf tips.
- Temperature: Thrives at approximately 18–27°C. Protect from cold drafts, heating vents, and prolonged temperatures below 13°C.
- Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding during slower winter growth.
- Maintenance: Wipe the broad leaves periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. Remove spent flowers as they fade to maintain a neat appearance.
- Pruning: Trim yellowing, brown, or damaged leaves near the base using clean scissors. Faded flower stalks can also be removed at their base.
- Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots become crowded, preferably during spring. Choose a slightly larger container with adequate drainage.
Note: Plant pot may vary in design from the product image. Most plants come in a one-time-use plastic grower pot.
