Here's how to care for it:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1. Light:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place your Pellionia pulchra in a bright spot with indirect light. It prefers bright light, but avoid direct sun exposure, as this can scorch the leaves. An east or west-facing window is usually ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2. Watering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the soil slightly moist, but do not let the plant sit in standing water. Water when the topsoil begins to dry out, and ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is less active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3. Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintain the plant within a temperature range of 18°C to 24°C (65°F to 75°F). Avoid temperatures below 10°C (50°F).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4. Humidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pellionia pulchra prefers high relative humidity. To increase humidity around the plant, you can place a pebble tray with water under the pot, use a humidifier, or mist the leaves regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5. Fertilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fertilize the plant with a diluted balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer), approximately every 4 to 6 weeks. Reduce fertilization in autumn and winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6. Repotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pellionia pulchra does not need to be repotted frequently. Repot only when the plant becomes root-bound in its pot, usually every 2 to 3 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7. Common Problems:\u003c\/strong\u003e Watch out for pests such as mealybugs and aphids. Treat them as soon as you spot them. Ensure the plant is well-ventilated to prevent mold or rot problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FleurExcel Inc.","offers":[{"title":"6.5\" PS","offer_id":47027346997552,"sku":"","price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/4658\/6672\/files\/d9a2ca9dbc1a62e132e3b7cf3564109a.jpg?v=1698437916","url":"https:\/\/fleurexcel.com\/en\/products\/pellionia-pulchra","provider":"FleurExcel Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
