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
Use a complete liquid houseplant fertilizer about monthly while actively growing in spring and summer, at the product label rate. Pause in dim winter conditions or whenever growth stops; do not feed a dry or stressed plant.
Temperature
Keep in a stable, frost-free room, usually about 18–26°C, away from cold drafts and heating vents.
Humidity
Ordinary room humidity is usually sufficient; do not mist to compensate for wet roots.
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
- Soft yellow growth can signal overwatering and root rot.
- Mealybugs can hide in leaf axils; check for white waxy clusters.
