Growth habits of the wax plant

The wax plant is a wild species of tropical and subtropical regions, mostly growing as an epiphyte on tree trunks and rock walls. The wax plant likes a warm environment and prefers high temperature, high humidity, and semi-shade; in summer and autumn it needs relatively high air humidity, and it fears scorching sun exposure. If the light is too strong, the leaves will turn yellowish, and the color will become rough and dull without luster. The most suitable growth temperature is20~25℃。

The wax plant is relatively cold-tolerant, and in winter the temperature should not be lower than1°C, and with3~4hours of light each day it can bloom. But not blooming does not affect the wax plant's ornamental value; it can be grown as a potted plant for viewing.

For growing the wax plant at home, it is best to choose soil that drains well and is rich in humus, so that the wax plant will grow more vigorously; during care, make sure the soil stays dry.
