Choose the Right Location
Place your First Love plant in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight. It thrives best in well-lit areas but can tolerate some shade.
Soil Requirements
Use well-draining soil with a mix of peat moss, perlite, and compost to ensure proper aeration and moisture retention.
Watering Schedule
Water the plant regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering during the winter months.
Temperature and Humidity
Maintain a temperature range between 60-75°F (15-24°C). First Love plants prefer moderate humidity levels.
Fertilizing
Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) for optimal growth.
Pruning
Trim back any dead or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's shape and health.
Pest Control
Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids and spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Repotting
Repot the plant every 1-2 years in a slightly larger pot to accommodate its growing root system and refresh the soil.
Propagation
Propagate First Love plants through stem cuttings. Place cuttings in water or moist soil until roots develop before transplanting.
