Plant Care:

• Water: Water your Warneckii thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
• Temperature: The plant prefers warm temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid exposing it to cold drafts.
• Humidity: While the Warneckii can tolerate low humidity, it will appreciate higher humidity levels. Misting the leaves occasionally can help increase humidity.
• Fertilizer: Fertilize your Warneckii with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Pruning: Prune the plant as needed to remove any yellowing or damaged leaves. You can also prune to shape the plant or encourage bushier growth.
• Repotting: Repot your Warneckii every 2-3 years or when the roots become pot-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
