7 proven tips for caring for quiver so it blooms all year round!

  1. Place
    It needs a lot of light, but you need to avoid direct sunlight. This plant likes diffuse light. It is advisable to attach it to the east or north pane. If it doesn’t get enough light, it stops blooming and the leaves lose their shine.
  2. Irrigation
    Do not water the plant until the top layer of the substrate has dried out. Water 1x per week in the summer months. In winter, the frequency of watering is lower. Be careful not to water too much, as the roots could start to rot.
  3. Humidity
    This is a plant that needs high humidity. We can put pebbles or a bowl of water under the flower pot. However, the roots must not come into contact with the water. We can also use a humidifier.
  4. Substrate
    We choose a permeable substrate that contains enough organic substances. The substrate must allow the roots to breathe while preventing them from rotting. You can use the substrate used for orchids and slightly change its consistency.
  5. Temperature
    The temperature in the room must never fall below 15 degrees. This plant does not like cold and drafts. We never put it near an air conditioner. A sharp change in temperature leads to a slowdown in the growth and fall of the leaves.
  6. Cleaning the leaves
    Dust settles on the leaves very easily, so it is important to clean them regularly. We can use a damp cloth. The quiver looks healthier and also breathes better.
  7. Homemade fertilizer
    It mainly needs phosphorus and potassium to promote flowering. Homemade fertilizer made from coffee grounds and banana peels can be used. We use it sparingly. Take the peel of a banana and cut it into smaller pieces. Place in a container and add 1 tablespoon of ground coffee or coffee grounds and pour in 500 ml of water. Steep for 1 day, strain and use every 2-3 weeks for watering.
