Green Thumb Guide

A little less light and the plant grows a bigger leaf to catch more light.Plant in enriched soil with good drainage. Keep soil moist but not soggy. If kept too wet roots will rot.Check soil once or twice a week to establish watering frequency. Use potting soil when repotting. Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer such as Bonide 10-10-10. Plants can go dormant, or partially dormant, during winter months, even inside. Cooler temperatures and shorter days will trigger the plant to reduce foliage.
