Maintaining your Tabletop Kamini involves a few key tasks to keep it healthy and thriving. Here are some maintenance tips:
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s essential to find the right balance.
- Light: Place the Tabletop Kamini in a location with bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much may lead to leaf burn. If you notice the plant leaning toward the light source, rotate it periodically to ensure even growth.
- Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the shape and size of the plant. Trim back any leggy or overgrown branches to encourage a bushy, compact form. You can also pinch off spent flowers to promote continuous blooming.
- Fertilizing: Feed your Tabletop Kamini with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) every 2-4 weeks. Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant is in a dormant phase.
- Pest Control: Keep an eye out for pests such as scale insects or aphids. If you notice any infestations, gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth or use insecticidal soap. Regularly inspecting your plant will help you catch and address pest issues early.
- Temperature and Humidity: Tabletop Kaminis prefer warm temperatures and moderate to high humidity. Protect them from drafts and sudden temperature changes. If your indoor environment is dry, consider placing a tray with water near the plant to increase humidity.
- Repotting: If the plant outgrows its container or the soil becomes depleted, consider repotting it. This is typically done every 1-2 years. Choose a slightly larger pot with well-draining soil.
Remember to observe your Tabletop Kamini regularly and adjust care based on its specific needs. Each plant is unique, and paying attention to its responses will help you provide the best care possible.
