Care Essentials
Get to Know Your Thompsonella
Watch the humidity — a little extra moisture in the air goes a long way with this plant.
Light
medium to bright indirect
Most comfortable in medium to bright indirect light. Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure.
💡 Grow lights: Thrives under artificial grow lights (LED or fluorescent, 10-12 hours/day). A great option if your space lacks natural light.
Watering
every 7-10 days
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Adjust with the seasons — less in winter, more in summer.
Humidity & Temperature
Appreciates some humidity but adapts to average home conditions. Brown tips in winter? Your air might be too dry — a light misting helps.
Standard room temperature (60-80°F / 15-27°C) is perfect. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature swings.
Soil
Standard well-draining potting mix works well. Add perlite for extra drainage if you tend to overwater.
