How to Care for the Plant

  • Water

    As a guide, you might expect to water thoroughly once every 7-10 days in winter, but be watering almost every day in the summer months. The best way to decide whether your plant is ready for a drink, is if the top of the soil is dry and the pot is beginning to feel light.

  • Pruning

    By removing overgrown foliage, you will improve airflow to the plant, and light will be better able to penetrate all portions of the plant. This actually leads to a fuller and healthier looking houseplant.

  • Fertilizer

    Liquid fertilizers are applied more frequently, bi-weekly or monthly, for example. Granular products are used less frequently, perhaps once every month or two. Slow-release houseplant fertilizers break down slowly and release their nutrients in small amounts, over a longer period of time. A single application of most of these products lasts for three to four months.
