1 LikeMine 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

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!
