PLANT CARE
 |
17–25°C (63–77°F) |
 |
Shaded Light |
 |
Moderate to High Humidity |
 |
Water sparingly from below by placing the pot in a tray of tepid rainwater or distilled water for 20 minutes, then lifting it out to drain. Allow the top of the compost to dry out between waterings, and reduce watering in winter after blooming until new flower stems appear in early spring. Mist the plant every day or two, or set on a tray of damp pebbles |
ADDITIONAL CARE
If you notice a tip or edge burn often with a yellowish hue at the edge, especially on older leaves, it could be due to your tap water. To solve this, allow your tap water to stand overnight before watering so the chlorine and fluoride can evaporate. Remove any yellow leaves to keep your plant strong and growing. Do not use any shine products on the leaves, instead, clean leaves occasionally with a damp cloth
