How to Make Mother-in-Law’s Tongue Bloom and Keep Its Scent Longer

By Lesia
  1. Location and Light: Place the plant near a window with good lighting. If the plant is upright, it needs more light. It grows slowly, with only three to four new leaves a year.
  2. Watering: Water only when the substrate is completely dry. In winter, water only twice a month to prevent rot.
  3. Fertilizer: Apply fertilizer for flowering plants once a month in late spring and early summer, through fall. This will help produce vanilla-scented flowers.
  4. Pruning: Do not cut the tips of the leaves. Remove only the dead leaves to prevent disease.
  5. Repotting: Change the pot to a larger one in early spring if the plant needs it. Use clay pieces in the bottom for good drainage.
