🌞 How to Care for Your Sensitive Plant
- Sunlight: Loves full sun or bright, indirect light—aim for at least 6 hours of morning sun - the more the better!
- Watering: Keep soil moist but not soggy—water every other day like a regular houseplant
- Potting Mix: Grows well in aerated soil (garden compost mixed with potting soil and some perlite or silica sand for drainage)
- Winter Care: It’s semi-tropical, so keep it warm & protected from frost
- Feeding: Use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer once a month in summer for best growth
🚨 Pest Alert: Watch for woolly aphids in early spring—regularly check your plant and treat with Koinor or Rosecare Plus if needed (available from us online or you can pop in at your local garden center - most large nurseries stock it)
🌿 Fun Fact: When you receive your plant, the soil may be topped with Spanish or green forest moss to help maintain humidity. But remember—this is NOT live sphagnum moss and is not suitable for carnivorous plants!
