Boykinia occidentalis aka Coast Boykinia

Coast Boykinia is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

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

Coast Boykinia 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.

The Coast Boykinia is not in need of supplementary humidity. Most water is taken in by plants through their roots, thus soil watering is the most efficient way to provide humidity to your plants.

The Coast Boykinia should be repotted either when it doubles in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing new potting soil with all the vital nutrients annually is enough to support the growth of the plant, and thus, there is no need for fertilizer. Remember that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
