Your care routine

Light

Filtered light through a canopy; Shade: fewer than 2 direct hours daily; Sun: at least 6 direct hours daily; Partial shade: 2–6 direct hours daily.

Watering

Water when the surface begins to dry, then drain. Avoid both prolonged drought and stagnant wet roots.

Soil & drainage

A moisture-retentive but freely draining organic potting 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

Prefer a cool, bright, frost-free position; avoid hot heating vents and abrupt temperature changes.

Humidity

Provide gentle air circulation; avoid persistently wet foliage. Adjust indoor humidity to the plant’s growing needs.

Through the seasons

During darker Vancouver autumn and winter days, check soil moisture before watering and reduce feeding as growth slows. Acclimatize plants gradually to stronger spring light.

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.
