How to care for Chrysalidocarpus lutescens:
Water regularly through the growing season with soft water or rain water but let the surface of the soil dry out slightly before rewatering. Reduce watering through the winter months.
These plants need humidity so mist the leaves regularly, or stand on a tray of damp pebbles. Although they like a warm atmosphere don't place it near a radiator or heat source, and choose a brightly lit spot but not in direct sun.
Feed every 2-3 weeks with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser during the growing months to support strong foliage.
