This unique houseplant thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers slightly moist but well-draining soil. It responds to light by opening and closing its leaves—a charming feature that brings the plant to life in any space.
Dormancy Note: Once a year, usually during winter, this plant enters dormancy. Leaves may stop growing and wither. Allow them to die back naturally, then reduce watering and place the pot in a cooler spot. After around three months, move it back to a bright, warm location to encourage new growth.
Troubleshooting Tips:
-
Wilting or drooping? Check for over- or underwatering. Water only when the top of the soil is dry.
-
Yellowing leaves? This may be due to too much direct sun or excess moisture.
-
Leaves not opening? Try placing the plant in a brighter location.
-
Brown leaf tips? Often caused by low humidity or irregular watering.
-
Pests? Watch out for aphids or spider mites—treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
