Care & tips for the Lepismium Bolivianum hanging plant - 25 cm
The Lepismium Bolivianum hanging plant is an easy plant to look after. It is, however, sensitive to too much water, so we'd recommend not overdoing the watering. Is the plant growing to one side? Then turn it a little every day without moving it. That way the Lepismium Bolivianum hanging plant gets an even amount of light on its leaves all round. In the summer months it can take a little extra plant food for some extra nutrients.
How much water does the Lepismium Bolivianum hanging plant - 25 cm need?
The soil of the Lepismium Bolivianum hanging plant is happier on the dry side than on the wet side. We'd recommend giving it several small drinks at first rather than one big one. That way you avoid a flood of water the plant can't take up. In summer it usually needs more water, because it uses more moisture too. The plant also appreciates a regular misting of its leaves. Has your plant just been repotted? Then always use a moisture meter!
How much light does the Lepismium Bolivianum hanging plant - 25 cm need?
The Lepismium Bolivianum is a tough plant and copes with bright spots and shady ones alike. That makes it extra easy to find it a home. If the Lepismium Bolivianum puts out little new growth, that's often a sign of too little sunlight. It also uses less water in a shadier spot.
Is the Lepismium Bolivianum hanging plant - 25 cm toxic?
Unfortunately the Lepismium Bolivianum hanging plant is mildly toxic if eaten or touched. So do wear gloves when repotting to protect your skin: the sap in the stems can irritate it. Be careful if you have children or pets.
