Pachira in vase Iris

Make sure the potting soil always remains slightly moist. In the summer, watering once a week is usually sufficient. In the winter, the plant needs less: once every two weeks is often enough.

Preferably give water in small amounts, so that you can see whether the soil absorbs it and you do not give too much.

Keep the ball moss nice and green by spraying it lightly once a week.

Lots of light, but no direct sunlight. Also tolerates partial shade, but then grows more slowly.

Ideal at 18–25°C. Avoid cold draughts or temperatures below 10°C.

Turn the plant occasionally for even growth. Clean the leaves with a damp cloth to maintain their shine.
