Ps.,Horty Hints

Warm Water Weekly! These plants like a lot to drink in the summer, sometimes 4 times per week. Use room temperature water, to keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy.

Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust. Avoid using leaf shine as this will damage the foliage. Brown leaf tips may occur.

Bright and Bushy! The leaves of this plant close up at night and open during the day. If your plant is struggling to open, it is too shaded. Give it a helping hand with some brighter light.
