Care Guide: 5 Essential Tips for pH Jerry Horne
1. Light Requirements
Place your pH Jerry Horne in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight may cause leaf burn, while too little light can dull its striking color.
2. Watering Schedule
Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil is dry. Avoid overwatering; this plant is sensitive to root rot. Use well-draining soil to help prevent water accumulation.
3. Humidity and Temperature
This plant thrives in moderate to high humidity (50–70%) and prefers temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F). Avoid cold drafts or dry air from heaters.
4. Feeding and Fertilizing
Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. No fertilizing needed during winter dormancy.
5. Pruning and Maintenance
Trim yellow or damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth. Repot every 1–2 years to refresh the soil and provide room for root expansion.
