Care
- The plants, which are sensitive to full sun, do well in an east or west-facing window with mild morning or evening sun. - High humidity is good for this plant, so it should be sprayed regularly with soft, lime-free water. - High water permeability of the substrate is extremely important: waterlogging and standing water in the pot inevitably lead to rotting. - As soon as temperatures no longer fall below 5°C, even at night, this plant can be taken outside. A shower with lukewarm water will remove dust and revitalise 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.

Flower
The white flowers appear from July to October. They are strongly scented.
