Since the roots of Nematanthus are fragile, the plant is rarely replanted when the roots completely fill the volume of the pot: it is for this reason that the latter should not have a jug-shaped (convex in the middle) shape.
How to grow
Perhaps the nematanthus will feel most comfortable in a room with a temperature of + 20-24⁰C on east/west window sills while providing soft diffused light for at least 14 hours a day.
From spring to autumn, abundant and regular watering is necessary.
In winter, water less frequently and moderately, especially when kept cool.
Make sure that water does not stagnate at the roots.
But it is also contraindicated to overdry the clod of earth; the plant may die.
The plant is not afraid of short-term temperature changes, but it is better to avoid strong drafts.
How to water nematanthus
Nematanthus loves water. It should be watered abundantly, especially during warm periods.
You can use the method of immersing a pot with a drainage hole in water for 15 minutes.
It is allowed to spray water in the air around the flower, avoiding droplets getting on the plant.
Is it necessary to spray nematanthus
For example, at temperatures of 27-28°C, humidity should be increased to 60%.
In hot summers, nematanthus can be sprayed with water from a spray bottle, the main thing is that the water is warm.
As a rule, during the dormant period the flower does not need high humidity.
