Care tips
A light or dark location
This plant is very easy to care for and can be kept in either a light or a dark spot. Make sure the plant is not in a draught and that the temperature does not fall below 10 degrees. The ideal temperature is 18–22°C.
Keep moist, the potting soil must not dry out
Water the Aphelandra regularly. Especially if the plant gets a lot of sunlight, it needs a lot of water. An Aphelandra is a tropical plant and therefore likes moisture. It really doesn't like drought, but of course it doesn't like wet feet either. Water about three times a week. The amount of water depends on the size of the pot, but make sure in any case that the soil stays moist. Simply watering on top of the potting soil is fine, but putting the pot in a layer of water for a few minutes is also a good way to water.
Remove old flowers
With sufficient light, water and nutrition, a flower will continue to bloom for about 6 weeks. When the flower has finished blooming, you can simply remove this old flower. Enjoy this beautiful houseplant!
