INDOOR CARE GUIDE – SYDNEY

Light:
Place Songs of India in bright, filtered or indirect light. A well-lit position helps maintain its attractive foliage colour. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun through glass, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering:
Allow the upper layer of the potting mix to dry slightly before watering again. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Avoid leaving the pot sitting in water.

Humidity:
Average indoor humidity is generally suitable, but the plant may appreciate additional humidity during very dry conditions, particularly when heating or air conditioning is being used.

Soil:
Use a good-quality, free-draining indoor potting mix. A pot with drainage holes is essential.

Feeding:
Apply a balanced indoor plant fertiliser during the active growing period according to the product instructions. Reduce feeding during cooler, slower-growth periods.

Cleaning the Leaves:
Gently wipe dusty leaves with a clean, damp cloth from time to time. This helps keep the foliage looking fresh and attractive.

OUTDOOR CARE

Songs of India can also be used outdoors in suitable warm, sheltered positions. Protect it from harsh afternoon sun, strong winds and prolonged cold conditions. A bright patio, covered balcony or protected garden area can work well.

GROWING IN POTS

This plant is particularly well suited to containers. Choose a pot with good drainage and increase the container size gradually as the plant grows. Avoid using an excessively large pot, as a very large volume of wet soil can remain around the roots for too long.

ADD A TOUCH OF TROPICAL STYLE
