Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant the tuber or plant in a pot with drainage holes in light, humus-rich potting mix. Keep it in indirect light at a steady room temperature.
Care. Protect from direct midday sun and draughts. Mist the leaves gently or stand the pot on moist pebbles to keep humidity high.
Watering and feeding. Water regularly so the mix stays evenly moist but not wet. During growth apply diluted houseplant fertiliser every 2–3 weeks.
Winter dormancy. In autumn the leaves yellow and die back: reduce watering and keep the tuber in dry mix at about 15–18 °C. In spring repot into fresh mix and resume watering.
