ðą How to Care for Blue-flowered Torch to Prevent Grey Mould?
ð§ How to Water
Water thoroughly once the base feels dry, roughly every 7-10 days; soak or mist rather than letting water pool in the center, and always let excess water drain away to prevent rot.
âïļ Lighting
Place in bright, indirect light near an east or filtered south-facing window; direct midday sun will scorch the leaves.
ðŠī Ideal Soil
No soil needed. Mount on bark or driftwood, or nestle loosely in an open, fast-draining bark or orchid mix that never stays soggy.
