🔖 Care Tips

Hydroponic cultivation is possible. 1. Gently shake off the soil to avoid damaging the roots and secure them with materials like hydro balls for more stable growth. 2. Submerge only 50-60% of the roots in water to allow them to breathe. 3. Use tap water that has been left out for a day, and opt for an opaque container instead of a transparent one. (Transparent containers can cause temperature fluctuations due to light, which is harmful to the roots.) 4. Change the water every 7-14 days for maintenance.

🏝️ Habitat Conditions

It originates from Africa. It is sensitive to cold and should be kept warm. It cannot survive outdoors during winter.

🪨 Soil Mix

It is best to plant in well-draining soil. A common mix ratio is 40% potting soil, 20% bark, 20% leaf mold, 10% perlite, and 10% charcoal. This can vary depending on conditions and environment.

🌡️ Environment

Temperature: 16~24°C, minimum temperature 13°C. Can withstand short periods down to 5°C. Humidity: 40~70%, can be adequately managed with indoor humidity.

☀️ Light

It can adapt and thrive in low light conditions. It will do well with indirect sunlight.

💧 Water

When the surface soil is dry, it's good to water the plant. Keep the soil consistently moist.

🌱 Propagate

Propagation is mainly done through cuttings. For cuttings, use sterilized tools to cut 10-20 cm branches at an angle. Let them dry for 3-4 hours, then place them in soil or water for propagation. 1. For water propagation, avoid transparent containers. Place the stem in water, and once roots appear, add hydroponic fertilizer. When roots are 5-7 cm long, transfer to soil. 2. For soil propagation, plant deeply in soil without fertilizer. After cutting, avoid exposing to bright light. Gradually increase light exposure to help them adapt. Maintain high humidity and a temperature of 20-25°C.

🪴 Repot

Due to its slow growth rate, it is advisable to repot every 2-3 years.

💊 Fertilize

Fertilizer is not often needed, but using it once from spring to summer at the recommended amount can promote more vigorous growth.

🌺 Flower

In suitable growth conditions, it blooms white flowers. However, the shape can change, and it secretes sticky sap, so it's best to trim the flower buds.
