Spring-Autumn · Indoors

Water houseplant when dry

Let the soil dry between waterings and then water thoroughly. Don't leave the plant standing in water, and try to avoid splashing the foliage on hot sunny days or it could cause the leaves to burn.

Winter-Spring · Indoors

Water lightly in winter

The soil should remain just moist during the cold months when the plant is not in growth. Trickle a little water onto the soil surface every couple of weeks if the soil is dry. Do nothing if it is moist.

The roots remain active in winter and benefit from small amounts of moisture so they don't become completely desiccated.
