Planting and care

Avoid keeping in dark places. Wait until the soil has dried out a little and then water again. The soil should never be saturated or boggy as this will lead to rotting. Apply a feed twice a year at most and for an older plant or that single leaf is throwing out new shoots you can feed a little more. Young plants with only one leaf should start to be re-potted when there is new growth.

Initial care for 1-2 weeks after receiving plant at your location:
Check the moisture in the soil before watering it. Water the plants when the topsoil (3-4 inch) in pot feels dry to touch. Poke your finger into the soil, if dry then apply water. Keep the plant in indirect bright light. Do not re-pot immediately after receiving it.
