Temperature: |
Ideal temperatures should be approximately 65-75ºF + (18-24ºC +)...closer to 70ºF is best. |
Light: |
Bright light, but no direct sunlight and shaded for a good part of the day in the summer, if it's warm and humid enough. |
Watering: |
Water a little but often - keeping the soil moist at all times. Water much less during winter. |
Soil: |
Use a fast draining peat based potting mix. |
Fertilizer: |
Feed with a diluted balanced fertilizer from spring every 2 weeks and stop at the end of August then start again at the beginning of spring. |
Re-Potting: |
These can be re-potted every spring but only use a pot one size bigger if it's become very root bound. |
Humidity: |
These plants like slightly higher humidity levels than many other plants. You may need to raise the humidity levels in a room artificially by placing the plant in a humidity tray with pebbles or use a humidifier. |
Propagation: |
These are usually propagated by dividing the plant when it's being re-potted in spring. |
