Light:

Full sun.  A must for the best floral production.

Temperature:

40° and up. It’s better to maintain 65° or

 higher under damp winter conditions.

Humidity:

Preferably 50%; however, they do fine under lower levels. Periods of high humidity do encourage foliage disease.

Watering:

Any time growth is excessive.  Bring soil to visual dryness between watering, then water thoroughly.  Do not keep evenly moist.

Fertilizer:

Fertilize with ½ tsp./gallon once a week.  If leaves become pale or older leaves turn yellow and fall excessively, increase fertilizer to twice a week until they green up.  Discontinue during the winter or when light levels are low.

Insects and Disease:

They have few difficulties with insects. Foliage and root can be a problem.  This can be averted by careful watering and drier air.
