🔖 Care Tips
Hydroponic cultivation is possible. 1. Carefully remove soil from the roots without damaging them, and secure the roots with something like hydro balls for better growth. 2. Do not submerge the entire root system in water; keep only 50-60% submerged to allow the roots to breathe. 3. Use tap water that has been left out for a day, and store it in an opaque container rather than a transparent one, as light can change the temperature and harm the roots. 4. Change the water regularly every 7-14 days for maintenance.
🏝️ Habitat Conditions
This plant grows in the tropical rainforests of America and Southeast Asia. It thrives in warm and humid environments.
🪨 Soil Mix
When planting, it's best to use well-draining soil. Generally, mix 40% potting soil, 20% bark, 20% leaf mold, 10% perlite, and 10% charcoal. However, you can adjust the ratios based on the situation and environment.
🌡️ Environment
Maintain a temperature of 21-25°C, with a minimum of 13°C. Keep humidity between 40-70%. This plant prefers a warm and humid environment. Ensure good air circulation to prevent mold growth.
☀️ Light
Plants can survive in low light but won't flower or grow well. It's better for them to receive indirect light rather than direct sunlight.
💧 Water
When the surface soil is dry, water the plant.
🌱 Propagate
Use sterilized tools to cut the stem at an angle, dry for 3-4 hours, then propagate in soil or water. 1. For water propagation, avoid transparent containers. Place the stem in water, and once roots appear, use hydroponic fertilizer. When roots are 5-7 cm long, transfer to soil. 2. For soil propagation, plant deeply in soil without fertilizer. After propagation, avoid exposing to bright light. Gradually increase light exposure to help the plant adapt. Maintain high humidity and a temperature of 20-25°C. Repot every 1-2 years and divide the plant for propagation.
🪴 Repot
It is recommended to repot every 1-2 years due to its relatively fast growth rate.
💊 Fertilize
Using fertilizer once during the growing spring to summer, while adhering to the recommended amount, can promote more vigorous growth.
🌺 Flower
The flowers bloom from spring to summer and are white. Over time, they turn green. As they turn green, they shed a lot of pollen, so it's best to remove them before this happens.
😵 Toxicity
Be cautious with pets and young children as it is toxic.
