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
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
Aim for 50–65% with a humidifier if needed; provide gentle airflow.
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
- Crisp leaf edges can result from dry roots, dry air or excess fertilizer.
- Wet stagnant mix encourages root rot; check drainage before adding water.
