Ben's tips on plant care:
- Location/Light requirements: Partial shade, indirect sunlight
- Substrate: high quality houseplant soil with humus content
- Temperature: optimal at 15-20° C
- Watering: keep moist and water as soon as the top layer of substrate begins to dry, but avoid waterlogging, ideally water with not too cold, low-lime rainwater
- Humidity: needs high humidity, spray regularly (leaves should be allowed to dry afterwards!) or use a humidifier.
- Nutrient addition: during the growth phase, fertilise approx. once a week with organic fertiliser. Fertilise once a week with organic liquid fertiliser
- Repot when the soil is densely rooted.
- Avoid heating or draughts.
