Plant Experience
Detail
💨
Origin: Southeast Asia and northern Australia
Humidity: 40%+
Light: Bright indirect.
Water: Water thoroughly, then allow to dry out slightly between waterings. This plant will not tolerate soggy soil. Keep soil slightly dryer in winter, when light levels are lower.
Soil: Fast draining soil.
Fertilizer: Rapid growers and require plenty of nutrients to grow well. During growing season, they should be fed with a liquid fertilizer every two weeks, and this should be reduced to every six weeks in the dormant month of October through February. Monthly during growth season and once every two months in the fall & winter.
Tips: Green leaves will fall due to movement alone! Likes to be a little root-bound in smaller containers. Repot in a container no larger than 1-2 inches of the root base.
The health of your tree can signify whether it needs fertilizing. Leaves that yellow along the margins or even fall off can indicate a lack of nitrogen. If your tree is getting plenty of bright but indirect sunlight and exposure to warm, humid conditions, but is still having foliage problems, you might need to increase the amount or frequency of its feedings.
