Get to Know Me

I'm a native of Central America, where I grow in freshwater swamps and estuaries. I'm also known as a water chestnut because I grow edible nuts when planted outdoors. But I'm just as handsome indoors. I'm also considered to be lucky.

How to take
Care of me

60 to 90° F. Keep me away from cold drafts, air conditioning or heating vents, and hot surfaces like radiators or furnaces.
TEMPERATURE
Let the top 2-3 inches of soil dry out between waterings. Water with distilled water or leave tap water sitting out for 24 hours before using to allow chemicals to evaporate.
WATERING
Use a liquid or houseplant fertilizer at half strength. Fertilize me monthly during the spring-summer growing season.
FERTILIZER
If you notice spider mites, mealybugs, or whiteflies, gently wipe them off with a 50/50 mix of soap and water.
POTENTIAL PESTS
Remove any dead leaves to keep me looking fabulous.
PRUNING
Repot me when my roots fill my container. Choose a new pot that is 2-3" wider with plenty of drainage holes.
REPOTTING

I'll thrive in bright to medium light. I love heavy watering and high humidity, so a pebble tray or year-round misting makes me happy. Just don't let me stand in water.

Appearance

Each one of us is unique, so I might not look exactly like the photograph. Embrace me for who I am! When I arrive, gently remove me from the box and introduce me to my new home. Check to make sure my soil is moist after the journey
