Top Tips & Info

  • Care Difficulty – Easy
  • Provide a bright, indirect setting with a splash of autumn and winter sun. Excessive periods in the intense rays during the height of summer will quickly lead to sun-scorch.
  • Keep the soil evenly moist, allowing the top third to dry out in between waters. Make sure that its central crown (otherwise known as a ‘well’) is topped with water to provide hydration and humidity.
  • Fertilise using a ‘Houseplant’ labelled feed every four waters in the spring and summer, reducing this to every six in the colder months.
  • Each individual plant will only flower once, so you’ll have to wait until the ‘pups’ (basal offsets) reach maturity for another bloom. You can even separate the ‘pups’ in the spring once they surpass 8cm in length.
  • Repot every three years using a ‘Houseplant’ potting mix; this is the perfect time for propagation and a quick check on the root/soil health.

  • Origins, Temperature, Propagation, Repotting & Toxicity.
  • Allow the top third of the soil to dry out between waters, reducing this further in the autumn and winter. Be sure to keep the ‘crown’ topped up with water if in a bright environment, as this will hydrate the plant and maintain high humidity. Under-watering symptoms include pale leaves, brown leaf patches, sunken foliage and crisping flowers; these issues are typically caused by intense sun or heat, being potbound, or pure forgetfulness. Over-watering symptoms include a rotten stem with yellowing leaves, flower collapse and ‘pup’ death. If this occurs AFTER the flowers have elapsed, this is a natural response after unsuccessful reproduction. For those that haven’t flowered, possible reasons for the decline are too little light or heat, excess moisture within its foliage and a lack of drainage.
