Water
Yellow Archangel should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
Yellow Archangel 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.
Lighting
To ensure optimal growth, the Yellow Archangel 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.
Dormancy
During the wintertime, it's common for Yellow Archangel to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.

It's important to keep in mind that plants derive their energy from the sun's rays, not fertilizers.
