Quick Guide

• Sunlight- Dappled sun.
• Humidity- Average (40 to 60% moisture in the air)
• Fertilizer- Mild doses of fertilizer in summer and spring.

Water Requirement

These pees love to stay in evenly moist soil. So follow the basic principle of watering evenly and letting the soil dry out partially before the next watering. You can observe the upper soil by touching it. And when you see the soil about 90% dried (not bone dry), it is time to water!

You need to observe the drying pattern and period of soil. This will help you to estimate a watering schedule. In higher temperatures and brighter light, the plants usually need more water. An estimated water frequency for spring and summer is about twice a week.
