Care

General Maintenance: Remove flowers/stems when done blooming to encourage new growth. Repot entirely when the plant has become rootbound. Yearly, change out some of the soil to ensure the plant has fresh nutrients.

Temperature: Warm temperatures that average 20°C-25ºC and no lower than 18ºC. Avoid putting near drafty windows in winter.

Light: Bright indirect sunlight is advised. Too much direct sun (over 16 hours) will cause sunburn. Too little light can cause the flowers not to bloom.

Watering: Keep this plant lightly moist. Water from the bottom with room temperature water as they are susceptible to root rot. Do not get water on their leaves.

Fertilizer: Fertilize every two weeks with high phosphorus plant food during spring and summer. Sensitive to over-fertilizing.

Soil: Since they are prone to root rot, they will do well with a well-draining soil.
