ðą How to Care for Eternal Flame to Prevent Grey Mould?
ð§ How to Water
Water about once a week when the top inch of soil feels dry, using filtered, distilled, or rain water â tap water chlorine and fluoride can cause leaf browning.
âïļ Lighting
Provide bright, indirect light, such as near a sheer-curtained window. Avoid direct sun, which scorches the leaves, and deep shade, which prevents flowering.
ðŠī Ideal Soil
Use a light, well-draining, organically rich mix with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-6.5). Blending in coconut coir or pine bark improves aeration and drainage.
