Plant Care
Watering:
Nephthytis 'White Butterfly' likes to be kept evenly moist but not soggy. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure that the pot has good drainage to prevent water from accumulating in the bottom. We recommend measuring the moisture of the soil with a moisture meter.
Light:
Nephthytis 'White Butterfly' prefers bright, indirect light but can also tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid exposing the plant to direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves. Too little light can result in slow growth and reduced variegation.
Fertilizing:
Fertilize the plant every two to three weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble or liquid fertilizer. Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength to avoid overfeeding, which can burn the roots.
Repotting:
Nephthytis 'White Butterfly' can be repotted every two to three years in the spring. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Gently loosen the roots and remove any dead or damaged roots before placing the plant in the new pot. Water thoroughly after repotting and avoid fertilizing for the first month to allow the plant to adjust to its new environment.
