How to Care for the Plant
Water
Mascarene island leaf flower needs 0.8 cups of water every 9 days when it doesn't get direct sunlight and is potted in a 5.0" pot
Sunlight
A plant's growing potential is determined from its location, the time of year, and current local weather.
Soil
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth. By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
