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