GROWING: Re-pot in a larger container to increase root and foliage growth. Trim off old, drying leaves and flowers from time to time and add this as shredded foliage around your plant to increase humus and soil health.

LIGHT: If growing indoors, place in a bright spot with exposure to indirect sunlight/ambient light for at least six hours daily. If growing outdoors, place in semi-shade as exposure to strong direct sunlight will burn the leaves of this plant.

WATERING: Daily in summer and alternate days in the monsoon. Allow soil to dry out completely between watering events. Never let roots sit in stagnant water. If growing indoors, ensure that drip trays are emptied regularly.

FERTILIZING: Our plants are sold in organically enriched, NPK+MagSulf strong, potting mixes that need no additional soil amendments for at least one year. If migrating to a larger container, we recommend Mandy's Farm Foliage Plant Potting Mix or one similar to it and/or a top up of compost.
