More information about Brownii

What is the region of origin of Brownii

Brownii’s native range is the Americas.

What are the water needs for Brownii

Brownii should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

What is the right soil for Brownii

Brownii loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

What is the sunlight requirement for Brownii

To ensure optimal growth, the Brownii prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

What's the right humidity for Brownii

No additional humidity is required for the Brownii. Plants take in most of their water through their roots, not their leaves, therefore, watering the soil is the most effective way to supply humidity to your plants.

How to fertilize Brownii

Repotting the Brownii is necessary either when it has doubled in size or once every year, whichever happens first. With fresh potting soil replenished annually, the plant will receive all the necessary nutrients, rendering the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that the source of a plant's energy is the sun, not fertilizer.

Is Brownii toxic to humans/pets?

The toxicity level of this plant has not been officially confirmed by Ploi. If there is a possibility of ingestion of plant material with an uncertain toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a medical professional.

What's the dormancy for Brownii

During the wintertime, it's common for Brownii to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.
