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
Aim for 18–26°C indoors; protect from cold drafts and sudden changes in temperature.
Humidity
Moderate to higher room humidity supports healthy leaves; provide gentle air circulation.
Through the seasons
During darker Metro Vancouver autumn and winter days, check moisture before watering and lengthen the interval as growth slows. Reassess daylight in spring and repot only if roots crowd the container.
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.
