Dewflower 'Bright star' Care Guide
🌞 Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light but can handle some direct sun. If grown indoors, place it near a sunny window. In lower light, growth may slow down.
💧 Watering
Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. It prefers evenly moist soil but dislikes sitting in water. Reduce watering in winter.
🌡 Temperature & Humidity
This plant enjoys warm temperatures (18-26°C) and appreciates higher humidity. If the air is dry, mist occasionally or use a pebble tray. Avoid cold drafts.
🌱 Soil & Repotting
For optimal drainage and healthy roots, you can use our premixed Aroid Mix, or you can create your own potting mix using Barks Unlimited Potting Soil combined with Perlite. When repotting, consider adding Bark Chips to improve aeration. Repot every 1-2 years if the plant becomes root-bound.
🌿 Fertilizing
Feed with a Controlled Release Fertilizer for sustained nutrients over 6 months. For an extra boost, supplement with an organic fertilizer like Terraplus Natura N during the growing season.
Pruning & Maintenance
Trim back leggy growth to keep the plant compact and encourage fresh foliage. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves as needed.
🛡 Pests & Issues
Generally pest-resistant, but watch out for spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. If needed, treat with an insecticidal spray. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
