These plants are relatively low-maintenance, requiring well-draining soil and humid conditions to flourish. They thrive in partial sunlight, but should be brought indoors when temperatures drop below 50°F to protect their delicate structure. Avoid overwatering and allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root issues. A monthly feeding with compost tea or diluted fish emulsion will provide ample nutrients, ensuring robust growth and vibrant blooms. Maintaining the flower stalk after blooming is crucial for future flowering, as removing it can delay new blossoms and waste the plant’s energy. These plants also prefer to be slightly root-bound, encouraging more prolific flowering and reducing the need for frequent repotting.
