Aneilema Biflorum Care
Overview
Humidity
Average to higher household humidity is best. If the air is too dry, the leaf tips of a Aneilema Biflorum plant turn brown. Place a Aneilema Biflorum plant on a tray of wet pebbles to increase the humidity around it. Be sure the plant is sitting on the pebbles and not in the water.
Light
Aneilema Biflorum plants like bright indirect lightVery few houseplants should be placed in direct sun. High light refers only to bright indirect light since direct sun often burns the leaves of indoor houseplants. A northern exposure really doesn't provide enough light for high light plants. These plants need to be placed directly in front of an east-facing window, within 1-3 feet of a west-facing window, and within 5 ft. of a south facing window. A high light area has over 300 ft. candles of light.. The better the light, the more flowers and colorful leaves a Wandering Jew plant produces.
Soil
Use a potting soil that retains moisture yet drains quickly so that the roots are not always wet.
Temperature
A Aneilema Biflorum plant grows well in temperatures between 60°- 80°F (15.6°- 26.7°C).
Watering
Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out before watering. Keep the soil drier during the winter when all houseplants, not just a Aneilema Biflorum, are not actively growing.
Fertilizing
Feed monthly when a Aneilema Biflorum plant is producing new growth with a water-soluble houseplant food diluted to 1/2 the recommended strength. Using a plant food high in nitrogen helps a Aneilema Biflorum produce more colorful leaves. Over- fertilizing is another reason why the bright colors in the leaves start to fade.
Propagation
Propagate by plant division.
