How to grow the Moses Cradle plant to perfume your home?

This perennial appreciates a warm, humid climate, but excess moisture can expose it to disease and cause its roots to rot. That’s why it’s best   to choose a well-drained potting soil and use a pot with holes to ensure better drainage.

Make the substrate from a mix of classic potting soil, special indoor plant soil, and enriched compost. Also consider placing a layer of clay pebbles at the bottom of the pot and do not pack the soil too much.

Exposure

Moses’ Cradle is a tropical plant that appreciates bright but indirect light. Therefore, it prefers partial shade exposure. If you keep your plant in a place that lacks exposure, it will not be able to bloom or give you flowers. Only green leaves will grow.

irrigation

Watering frequency depends on the season. During warmer months, water your plant frequently to keep the soil moist, but not so much that the roots rot. So check that there is no standing water in the saucer. In winter, you can space out waterings. Water only when the soil is completely dry. In this case, check the soil moisture with your finger.

As the peace lily appreciates humidity, do not hesitate to spray its leaves with non-calcareous water.  Be careful not to water the foliage too much, otherwise the color will turn yellow  . In this case, stop everything for two or three weeks, until your plant improves.

In winter, your plant’s foliage may become dusty due to dry air. Wipe the foliage with a clean, dry cloth.

Temperature

The Moses Cradle is not very hardy and therefore does not like wind or frost. Avoid leaving your pot on the balcony if it is cold. This plant prefers temperatures between 15°C and 20°C. In winter, the minimum temperature your plant can withstand is 13°C.
