Species : Ravenala madagascariensis

🔖 Care Tips

The wide leaves make it susceptible to mites and pests, so regular checks are recommended. If pests occur, physical removal has its limits, so it's best to apply two or more types of pesticides for control.

🏝️ Habitat Conditions

Native to Madagascar. It primarily thrives in humid and warm forests. It is sensitive to cold and 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: Maintain between 18~25℃, and above 10℃ in winter. Humidity: Keep between 40~70%. Normal indoor humidity is sufficient, but slightly higher is better. Ensure good air circulation to prevent mold and pests in high humidity.

👀 Characteristics details

Larger leaves can easily split from wind or light impact. Be careful when wiping dust off the leaves, as they can split easily. While split leaves may not look good, they don't significantly harm the plant. In windy areas, it's best to keep the plant in a sheltered space to prevent leaf tearing. If the leaves droop or fall due to their weight, use a support to prevent them from bending. Exposure to plenty of light results in shorter, thicker, and healthier leaves.

☀️ Light

For small-sized peace lilies, it's best to provide indirect light for extended periods. However, larger peace lilies can tolerate direct sunlight.

💧 Water

Plants that like a lot of water can also tolerate some dryness, so it's best to water them when the soil is dry. Check by digging slightly into the soil or weigh the pot; if it's light, it's time to water. If the leaves are dry or drooping, it indicates a lack of water, so water immediately.

🪴 Repot

Repot every 1-2 years due to fast growth.

💊 Fertilize

During the growing season from spring to summer, using fertilizer once while adhering to the recommended amount can promote more vigorous growth.
