Care Instructions

Light: Bright, indirect light; tolerates lower light but flowers less. Avoid direct Phoenix sun, which scorches foliage.

Water: Keep lightly and consistently moist, not soggy. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, then empty the saucer. Never let the pot sit in water.

Soil: Rich, well-drained, moisture-retentive potting mix with coco coir or peat, fine bark, and perlite.

Mature size: Typically 1–2 feet tall and wide; size varies by cultivar.

Bloom: Usually spring through summer; may bloom intermittently indoors with adequate indirect light and warmth.

Evergreen / deciduous: Evergreen; sensitive to cold and not frost-hardy.

Growth rate: Moderate in warm conditions with adequate indirect light; slower in low light.
