Care Tips for Your Sweet Dreams™ Exotica Ctenanthe

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix.
• Temperature: The ideal temperature range is 60-85°F (15-29°C).
• Humidity: High humidity is preferred. Mist the leaves once a day if you have a dry environment.
• Fertilization: Fertilize once per month during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer.
• Pet Friendly: YES
• Pests and Diseases: It is susceptible to mealybugs and spider mites. If you notice any pests, treat them with an insecticidal soap or neem oil.
