ðą How to Care for Showy Medinilla to Prevent Grey Mould?
ð§ How to Water
Water thoroughly about once a week, whenever the top inch of soil feels dry, and let excess water drain away completely; both drought and waterlogging cause leaf and flower drop.
âïļ Lighting
Provide bright, indirect light. Direct midday sun can scorch the leathery leaves, while too little light reduces flowering.
ðŠī Ideal Soil
Pot in a light, well-draining, slightly acidic mix, such as equal parts peat moss, perlite and potting soil, or an orchid mix blended with peat moss.
