Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. The frequency will depend on environmental conditions and season. Reduce watering slightly in the winter.

What kind of light does this plant need?

Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

How can I increase the humidity for my plant?

You can mist the plant regularly, place it near a humidifier, or keep it in a naturally humid room like a bathroom.

What is the ideal temperature for this plant?

The plant thrives at temperatures above 15°C. Avoid placing it in cold or drafty areas.

Do I need to repot the plant?

The plant comes in a nursery pot. Repotting is not immediately necessary, but when you do, use a good potting compost and a slightly larger pot.

Why aren't my plant's flowers lasting long?

Make sure your plant is getting the right amount of light, humidity, and water. Also, ensure the temperature is appropriate for the plant.
