Your care routine
Watering
Let most of the potting mix dry before soaking and draining; test below the surface.
Soil & drainage
Free-draining potting mix with added perlite or pumice; never use a sealed pot.
Fertilizer
During active spring and summer growth, use a balanced houseplant fertilizer at the label rate. Reduce or stop feeding when growth slows; never fertilize a dry or stressed root ball.
Temperature
Aim for 18–26°C indoors; protect from cold drafts and sudden changes in temperature.
Humidity
Moderate to higher indoor humidity is helpful, with gentle air circulation. Keep roots airy; humidity is not a reason to leave the mix wet.
Through the seasons
Reduce watering and pause feeding in weak winter light. Retain old flower spurs, as later blooms may grow from the same sites; give a climbing support as stems extend.
When your plant needs help
- Soft yellow growth can signal overwatering and root rot.
- Mealybugs can hide in leaf axils; check for white waxy clusters.
