Care advice and additional information
Water - Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant thoroughly whenever the top inch of the soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage using a well-draining potting mix and a container with drainage holes.
Sunlight - Place the Medinilla Magnifica in a bright spot with indirect sunlight. It thrives in bright, filtered light, avoiding direct sun exposure that can scorch the leaves. A north or east-facing window is ideal. Bud drop can be caused by a lack of light, and high temperatures.
Feeding - Feed every month during spring and summer with a good quality flowering houseplant feed.
Toxicity - Keep away from children and pets. Mildly toxic.
Additional advice:
Medinilla Magnifica blooms in the spring and summer. To encourage blooming, as above provide the plant with bright, indirect light and high humidity.
Remove spent flowers and dead or yellowing leaves to maintain the plant's aesthetic appeal and encourage new growth. Pruning can be done after the blooming period or throughout the year.
