FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT
- Use a diluted liquid fertilizer once every 2-4 weeks.
LIGHT REQUIREMENT
- A bright room with the plant placed in a shaded spot is ideal, without direct sunlight.
- In their natural habitat, they reside undercover within forests with some sun and shade so we need to try and replicate this.
WATER REQUIREMENT
- It's important not to water these plants too much or underwater them.
- To get watering just about right, allow the soil to dry to the touch at the top and then water thoroughly, but much less during winter.
