Codonanthe Crassifolia - exemplare XL

Codonanthe crassifolia is a tropical plant, epiphytic, native to the tropical forests of South America. It is valued for its fleshy leaves, oval or lance-shaped, which have a deep green color and may have reddish tinges at the edges. The flowers are small, white or pale pink, with a yellow or more intense pink center. They appear during spring and summer and are followed by small, red, fruits that contain seeds.

Care:

• Light: Prefers bright places, but shielded from direct sunlight. Indirect light is ideal.
• Temperature: The ideal temperature is between 18-25°C. It does not tolerate low temperatures or drafts.
• Humidity: Likes high humidity. Regular misting of the leaves with distilled water is beneficial.
• Soil: The soil should be well-drained and rich in organic matter. A mix of peat, perlite, and pine bark is ideal.
• Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil slightly moist, but not soaked. Between waterings, the top layer of soil should dry slightly.
• Fertilizing: Fertilize once a month, in spring and summer, with a liquid fertilizer for green plants, diluted in watering water.
• Repotting: Repot in spring, every 2-3 years, into a slightly larger pot.

The plant is sold without flowers.
