Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate low light conditions but may produce fewer flowers. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Watering Needs: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. They may wilt if too dry but usually recover quickly after watering.
Soil Preference: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix. A mixture designed for houseplants or a blend of peat moss, perlite, and pine bark works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
How to Fertilize: Fertilize with a balanced, fertilizer diluted to half strength every 6-8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding or stop altogether during fall and winter when growth slows down.
Hardiness Zone: Best suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 11-12.
Pet Safety: Toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of curious pets and children.
Additional Care Tips: Remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves to encourage new growth. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them looking fresh.
