care instructions:
Light Requirements: Prefers medium to low indirect light; too much direct sun may scorch the leaves.
Soil Needs: Needs a well-draining, peat-rich indoor potting mix; loamy soil helps retain moisture without becoming soggy.
Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry; leaves will droop slightly to signal thirst. Avoid standing water.
Humidity: Prefers higher humidity; occasional misting or placement near a humidifier supports lush growth.
Fertilizing: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer.
Pruning: Trim off spent blooms and yellowing leaves at the base to maintain a tidy appearance.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the soil and support continued blooming.
