Watering
Approximately 33 cl. of water once a week in spring and summer, every 10 days to 2 weeks in fall and winter.
Care Guide
For watering, use water at room temperature and whose chlorine has evaporated. Let the top of the soil on 2-3cm dry between 2 waterings. Remove the decorative moss beforehand to avoid wetting it. Water in 2 times, spaced about 10 minutes apart, so that the soil absorbs the water well. Spray the foliage of your plant regularly to increase the humidity level. Clean the foliage once a month with a soft cloth and diluted black soap. Rotate the pot a quarter circle at this time to promote smooth growth. Apply suitable fertilizer once a month from March to September.
