Care & tips Costus Arabicus Variegata - 25cm

As mentioned, the Costus Arabicus Variegata is an easy houseplant to take care of. They have little trouble with diseases or pests because their roots are strong and very resistant to diseases. Due to the tropical origin of this houseplant, we advise you to water it 2 to 3 times a week, both the top and the bottom of the leaves.

Water requirements for Costus Arabicus Variegata - 25cm

The Costus Arabicus Variegata likes a moist soil. Make sure, however, that it does not stay wet for too long. Between waterings, the top layer of potting soil should not dry out; it is important that the soil always stays moist. Too much water can cause root rot and you want to prevent this. When there is too little water, the leaves will start drooping. Give the houseplant a little more water, but not a lot at once. Keep a close eye on the soil (especially in the beginning). If you notice that the soil feels a little dry two days after watering, it is best to give a little more water next time. If, however, you notice that the soil is still very wet after five days, then it is better to give less water the next time you water.

Light requirements for Costus Arabicus Variegata - 25cm

The Costus Arabicus Variegata will thrive in a light spot with indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight is a real 'no go' for this plant, its leaves will fail and no new leaves will be produced. If this houseplant is placed in a place that is too dark, it will lose its leaf pattern. In both cases, we advise you to move the plant, as it will recover by itself. The Costus Arabicus Variegata is best placed in a spot out of the draught. If it is in a draught, it will suffer more readily from red spider mite and lice.
