It enjoys high humidity and should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out partially between waterings. This plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided it is protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.Sol
The Matchstick Plant prefers a well-draining soil mix, such as a combination of loam and orchid bark. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. The soil should be kept moderately moist but not waterlogged.Engrais
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied during the growing season. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth and vibrant blooms.Rempotage
