- Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a high-phosphorus liquid fertilizer to promote blooms. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.
- Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, such as one formulated for tropical plants.
