    Mine love to be ignored and dried out.. they’re more resistant to under watering compared to over watering. Bottom watering is a must because water on the leaves will make them brown!! Also, don’t get scared when the flowers drop because they will have flowering periods, and won’t always be blooming

      They also like to be root bound I’m pretty sure!

    I usually only water mine when i see the leaves start to really droop and it seems to be thriving, i bottom water and use a very diluted fertilizer (like 1/4 the amount recommended to mix with, hope this helps!

    They also don’t like getting cold, I’ve found. So keep that in mind when selecting a room with less direct sun 😅
