Water

It is highly recommended to allow the top one to two inches of the soil to dry out before watering, as Apoballis species prefer slightly moist soil and can withstand short periods of dryness. Adequate drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.

   Common Problems Q&A

Why are my leaf edges browning?

 Apoballis species thrive in conditions with higher humidity, and insufficient humidity can lead to the browning of leaf edges and reduced vibrancy. You can enhance the humidity around the plant by regularly misting the leaves, placing a tray of water nearby, or using a humidifier.

Why is my Apoballis experiencing leggy growth and losing color?

Insufficient light can result in Apoballis species developing leggy growth, losing their vibrant appearance, and displaying less-than-ideal development. To encourage their healthy growth, it's recommended to place your Apoballis plant in a location with bright, indirect light.
