PLANT CARE
| Sunlight: | Requires both sunshine and dark nights to bloom. They need abundant of sunlight to bloom. Should be exposed to bright light for at least 6 hours a day but not direct sunlight. |
|---|---|
| Watering: | Moderate watering required. They will drop their leaves if they are exposed to sudden change in temperature. They also lose leaves in response to extreme need of water. Water moderately and do not over-water especially when the pot does not have drainage hole. Water only when the top soil (1-2 inches) is totally dry. |
| Soil: | Grow well in fertile soil rich in organic content. They like medium moist soil. |
| Fertilizer: | The nutrients your plant came with should last around six months, so it is around that time period that we suggest to pay attention to all the growth changes and have fertilizer ready to go. After that six months of fertilization, all of your plants nutrients are a responsibility for you to undertake as the new plant parent. Feed the plant with organic fertilizer once a month during the active growth period. |
| Repotting: | Repot the plant about every other year at the end of summer. At the time of repotting pick a pot that is at least 1-2 inches bigger than your previous pot. Do the re-potting late evening and keep the plant in shady area for 2 to 3 days and then move the plant in its suitable climatic condition. |

Insect/pest attack – Spray Neem, Eucalyptus or Citrus oil, as a primary treatment.
