Outdoor plant Needs full sun and a cold winter dormancy; declines as a year-round houseplant.
  • full sun, 6+ hours (a sunny windowsill is rarely enough)
  • winter dormancy for about 3 months near 35-50°F
  • mineral-free water
Day70–95°F (21–35°C)
Night50–70°F (10–21°C)
Never below20°F (-7°C)
Humidity30–70%
LightFull sun, 6+ h direct (ICPS); under LEDs, 12-16 h/day at ~15,000-25,000 lux
WaterMineral-free only (rain, distilled, RO; TDS under ~100 ppm, ideally much lower); tray method: stand in ~1 cm of water in the growing season; just damp in winter. Avoid top-watering (Tom's).
MediaSphagnum peat, live/long-fibre sphagnum, or 1:1 peat:sand. ICPS warns against perlite and other potentially salty components.
Dormancyyes, Nov-Feb, about 3 months cold (~35-50F); dormant plants can survive brief hard freezes
Sources disagree on whether indoor plants need dormancy. Tom's and most growers say yes; one ICPS-hosted page says it only matters outdoors in freezing climates.
