Dumb Cane Plant #214 by Passionate Gem

Dumb Cane - camille in 4" nursery pot

LOCAL PICK-UP ONLY 

☀️ They grow best in bright, filtered/indirect light during the majority of the year (spring, summer and fall) and tolerate full direct sun during winter. It can however tolerate full shade, but they won't grow as vigorously and may become spindly. Great plants for low light areas.

🌡️ Prefer temperatures between 60-80°F. They should be kept away from drafts and cold windows, as temperatures below 55°F can cause damage to the leaves. They prefer a humid environment. Place it in an area that is naturally humid or use a humidifier or a pebble tray with water to  really create the ideal environment.

💧This plant thrives In moist but not water-logged soil. To achieve this balance, water your plant thoroughly about once a week then allow it to dry out before watering again but never letting the plant dry out completely.

🪴Do not repot right away. Let the plant stay in its nursery pot for at least a few months to get used to its new home. Most plants go dormant in the winter so It's best to not repot them then because they could go In to shock. It's best to repot every 2-3 years during the growing months of spring and summer. This plant grows well in a more peat rich potting mix. They like to be root bound so keep that in mind when deciding to repot.

💊For best results, feed monthly during the spring and summer months with a general purpose houseplant fertilizer that has a NPK (nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium) ratio of approximately 10-10-10. For the amount to use, follow product label instructions. No fertilizer is needed during the winter months when growth naturally slows.

🐜 All plants from Passionate Gem are treated monthly with a natural spray consisting of hydrogen peroxide, natural soap and neem oil diluted with water--but that doesn't mean once they go to a new home it can't catch a critter infestation from surrounding plants or soil. (Even flowers can be a carrier of pests!)  Preventative maintenance Is key! Check your plants often, clean leaves by giving the occasional shower or wiping with a clean damp cloth. Use clean pots and fresh quality soil when transplanting. A spray, like mentioned above, is a really great preventative measure as well.
