Your care routine
Watering
Keep the root ball lightly moist, allowing the surface to start drying before watering; drain completely.
Soil & drainage
An organic, freely draining container mix.
Fertilizer
Feed during active growth with a balanced plant fertilizer at the label rate. Avoid feeding dormant plants or a dry root ball.
Temperature
A bright, frost-free position around 10–24°C suits the supplier’s indoor growing guidance.
Humidity
Ordinary room humidity with gentle air movement; keep away from drying heating vents.
Through the seasons
Use less water and fertilizer as indoor growth slows in winter. Acclimatize gradually before moving outside in spring.
When your plant needs help
- Waterlogged soil can damage roots; check drainage before watering again.
- Inspect new growth and leaf undersides for pests and isolate affected plants.
