Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window that receives plenty of natural light throughout the day, but avoid harsh, direct sun which can scorch the leaves.
We recommend waiting at least one week before repotting. This rest period allows the plant to acclimate to your home's specific environment and recover from the stress of transit.
Check the soil moisture by feeling the top inch of the medium. If it feels dry to the touch, it is time for a thorough watering; this typically happens about once a week in standard indoor conditions.
The Cercestis Mirabilis is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.
This plant prefers a stable environment between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep it away from cold drafts or direct heat sources like vents to ensure it stays healthy.
