Care

General Maintenance: These can be repotted every spring if they have become very root bound. This plant is usually propagated by dividing when it's being repotted.

Temperature: This plant prefers warm temperatures. Room temperatures that average 18-24ºC are ideal.

Light: Ensure this plant has bright light, but not direct sunlight. During the summer, ensure it has a fair amount of shade if your house is quite warm/humid. These plants can tolerate some variation of more/less sunlight, but do their best in partial, filtered light.

Watering: Water in small amounts, but often. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist (but not soggy). Water much less during the winter. These plants also enjoy above-average humidity levels, so consider using a pebble tray or humidifier.

Soil: Use a fast draining, peat-based potting mix.

Fertilizer: Use a diluted, balanced fertilizer every two weeks from spring until the end of August.
