Your care routine
Watering
Allow the top 2–3 cm of mix to dry slightly, then water thoroughly and drain. Reduce watering in cool, darker conditions.
Soil & drainage
An airy organic houseplant mix with fine bark and perlite, in a container with drainage holes.
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
Keep in a stable, frost-free room, usually about 18–26°C, away from cold drafts and heating vents.
Humidity
Moderate to higher room humidity supports healthy leaves; provide gentle air circulation.
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
- Yellow leaves with persistently wet compost can indicate root stress.
- Fine stippling or webbing can indicate spider mites; inspect leaf undersides.
