Plant Care 

Light: This plant loves bright indirect light, but the direct sun could scorch the leaves.

Watering: They like to be moist all the time but don't fare well if overwatered. Will recover from underwatering. Sensitive to excess moisture on leaves so bottom watering is best. 

Temperature: Ideally, they want 18-24°C, especially if you want them to flower. Don't let it get below 5°C. Otherwise, you will see leaf drop and have one sad-looking plant. 

Potting: A well-draining and moisture-retaining mix is perfect. Our Thirst Trap mix should do the trick!

Hot tips: This plant loves humidity, so a bright, steamy bathroom is ideal Deadhead spent flowers to encourage repeat blooming.

Pet Friendly: YES
