- waterings.: Water less in winter when the plant rests. Also, avoid getting water on the leaves and stems because they can rot if they get too wet.
- Soil: A fast-draining medium such as cactus potting mix works best.
Temperature: Grows best with average room temperatures 60 to 75F/16 to 24C; A cooler winter rest of 55F/13C will help promote flowers in spring and summer. - Fertilizer: Feed every 2 weeks spring through fall with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted by half. In winter, feed monthly.
