Care tips
A light spot without direct sunlight
This plant likes a bright spot in the house, but avoid direct sunlight. It is best to put it in a place where it gets some shade. The Chenille plant can also be placed outdoors in a semi-shaded spot.
Keep moist, the potting soil must not dry out
This plant needs regular watering, but make sure the soil does not get too wet. It is best to keep the soil slightly moist and wait until the top layer of soil is dry before watering it again. It is important not to let water get into the flowers as this can lead to rot.
Easy plant
This beautiful plant is very easy to care for and can be kept both as a houseplant and as an outdoor plant.
