General houseplant fertiliser
Feed this plant with a general houseplant fertiliser.
Spring-Autumn · Indoors
Feed regularly during growth
Feed the plant regularly during growth for improved foliage. Don't feed the plant in winter. Follow the feed manufacturer's directions for the amount of feed to use.
Spring-Winter · Indoors
Keep moist, but not standing in water
Keep moist at all times. Water more sparingly in winter, keep the compost just moist.
Spring-Winter · Indoors
Soak completely when watering
Water until water comes out of the bottom of the pot. Leave for 30 minutes or so until the compost is fully moist, then pour away the excess water so the plant pot is not standing in water. (This avoids waterlogging which can cause "root rot".)
