Your care routine
Watering
Keep the root ball lightly moist; water when the surface just begins to dry and drain fully.
Soil & drainage
Moisture-retentive indoor mix loosened with perlite; drainage holes are essential.
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
Aim for 50–65% with a humidifier if needed; provide gentle airflow.
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
- Crisp leaf edges can result from dry roots, dry air or excess fertilizer.
- Wet stagnant mix encourages root rot; check drainage before adding water.
