Do this when you get home
- Put it somewhere sunny, with some air
- The roots are fleshy and hate wet feet. When the soil is dry, water it through.
Day to day
- It likes acid soil. Northern tap water is alkaline, so water with iron sulfate now and then.
- In winter it has to come indoors for warmth. Water less.
- In summer heat, mist around the leaves
Common questions
The leaves are yellow?
In the north, the usual cause is alkaline soil and a lack of iron. Too much water and rotten roots can do it too.
