HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR PLANT:
SOIL:
- A soil with acidic to neutral pH (5.6-6.5), also well-draining. A loamy soil will be a better choice.
- These plants prefer moist soil and do not tolerate dry soil.
LIGHT:
- Position your plant such that it gets direct sunlight at least for three hours and protection from strong sunlight in the afternoon or else it will scorch/burn the leaf.
- They require indirect sunlight for their optimum growth. Though they can be tolerant of the low lights.
WATERING:
- Water the plant only when 1-2 inches of the top soil has dried. Since these plants do not like dry soil, watering must be regular when the soil is dry.
- Watering schedules to be taken care of especially during the warmest months of the year and hence requires a more frequent waterings.
- Overwatering will lead to rotting of the roots. The signs of overwatering are yellowing or browning of leaves and stalks.
FERTILIZING:
- This plant is generally seen to be deficient in potassium which is any important macronutrient for water uptake. Deficiency of potassium is related with absence of blooming.
- Fertilizing throughout the growing season i.e., spring to fall helps in the robust growth of the plant and faster bloom.
- Avoid overdosing of potassium as it will lead to browning of leaves. (For this problem, it is better to provide a slow releasing potassium source or fertilizer to the plant)
PROPAGATION OF PLANT:
Seeds
- Soak the seeds in water overnight.
- Place the seeds in a pot with well-draining soil mix, and plant the seeds 0.75 inches deep into it. Cover the pot with a plastic wrap to maintain the soil moisture.
- Place the pot in a spot away from direct sunlight but at a bright location.
- The seeds will germinate within 3-4 weeks.
- Plant the seeds in potassium and organic content rich soil.
