Canistropsis Care

Here's the deal with watering: wait until the top layer of soil feels dry, then give it a drink. Keep going until water flows from those drainage holes.

Trimming duty? No biggie. Clip off those dead or sad leaves and shape up the stems for your desired look. Just use sharp, clean scissors so you don't hurt the plant.

To keep the good times rolling, introduce a balanced, slow-release fertilizer into the soil once a month, following the package instructions.

Bright, indirect light is where it's at for Canistropsis. Place it in a spot with lots of natural light, but keep it out of those scorching sunbeams to avoid any leaf crisping.

This plant thrives in well-draining soil, so create a mix with equal parts peat moss, perlite, and bark for a happy home.

Doubling down on Canistropsis is a breeze. You can do it from stem cuttings or baby shoots. Grab a five-inch stem cutting, strip the bottom two inches of leaves, stick it in some moist, well-draining soil, and let it soak up warmth and light.

Think comfy room temperatures around 65-75°F (18-24°C) during the day. But don't worry, it's chill enough to handle a drop to 50°F (10°C) at night.

Select the right digs for this plant – think of a well-draining potting mix and containers with good drainage and enough room for roots to grow.

Some folks say this rosette shape is pineapple-esque. Yet, it's surprisingly easy to nurture indoors despite its tropical looks.
