Growing Adelonema peltatum
Successful cultivation of the striking Adelonema peltatum. Below are some important growing tips to ensure its thriving growth:
Light: Adelonema peltatum prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest hours of the day, as it can burn the leaves.
Temperature: Aim for warm temperatures between 21 and 27°C (70 and 80°F) during the day and slightly cooler nights around 18 and 22°C (65 and 72°F) to mimic its tropical origins.
Humidity: High humidity is essential for Adelonema peltatum. Maintain humidity levels between 70 and 85% by using humidifiers, pebble trays, or by misting regularly.
Watering: Water regularly to keep the substrate moist but not waterlogged. Let the top two or three inches of potting mix dry slightly between waterings.
