🌱 How to Care for Blue-flowered Torch to Prevent Grey Mould?
💧 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.
☀️ Lighting
Place in bright, indirect light near an east or filtered south-facing window; direct midday sun will scorch the leaves.
🪴 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.
