Care
- A slow-release fertiliser can be used in spring. This releases the nutrients slowly and continuously so that the plant is evenly supplied over a longer period of time. - Excess water must be able to drain away easily and waterlogging should be avoided at all costs. - Scale insects are best controlled with a soap and spirits solution. Spider mites can often simply be showered off over the bath. - As soon as temperatures no longer fall below 5°C, even at night, this plant can also be taken outside. A shower with lukewarm water removes dust and revitalises your favourite. A semi-shady spot out of direct sunlight is best to prevent leaf damage. If necessary, the plant can also be repotted outdoors in spring, which saves cleaning work indoors.

Use
Tub, winter garden, balcony/terrace
