Delhi Seasonal Care Calendar
Protect from scorching dry afternoon winds. If kept in air-conditioned bedrooms, avoid direct airflow from the AC vent. Mist foliage twice weekly in early mornings.
Maximum vegetative growth phase! Soil stays wet longer; check drainage hole to prevent water stagnation. Treat to fresh balcony rainwater for natural nitrogen boost.
Critical Tip: Delhi winter dust settles on leaves, clogging pores. Wipe leaves with a damp cotton cloth once every 10 days. Drastically reduce watering by 50%.
Horticulturist Notes:
Care: Moisten the moss pole while watering to encourage lush, oversized leaves.
Propagation: Cuttings easily root in glass jars of clean water on your windowsill.
