How to care for Tacca Chantrieri Black

Tacca Chantrieri Black should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Tacca Chantrieri Black will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Allow the top quarter of the soil to dry before watering Tacca Chantrieri Black again. This usually takes about 3 - 4 days in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Tacca Chantrieri Black likes a high humidity environment, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.

Fertilize Tacca Chantrieri Black every month during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. During the winter, reduce fertilization as the plant's growth slows down. Remove any faded or dead flowers promptly to promote further blooming. Keep the plant in a warm environment and avoid exposure to drafts or temperatures below 60°F (15°C).

Tacca Chantrieri Black is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home..

Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

They will do well in medium light but will grow faster and have better colouring with brighter light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

They need to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

They like a high humidity environment, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.

Feed monthly with a water-soluble houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer, while the plant is actively growing. If your plant isn't flowering, consider giving your plant brighter light! Some morning sun or late afternoon sun will not harm your plant.

This plant is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home..

They can live in any average home humidity condition and are fairly hardy.

Tradescantia require very little maintenance overall, but pinching the stem tips will help them stay compact while promoting branching. For this plant, in particular, brighter light helps keep the plant healthy and full, keeping the leaves that striking purple colour, they will fade to green in lower light levels. To propagate, cut 3-inch segments, remove the lower leaves, and place them in a glass jar on a windowsill!

They will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

They like the soil to be completely dry before the next watering. That usually takes about 4 weeks in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. wrinkly or soft leaves).

Their humidity requirement is low, so do not mist them or put them in an enclosed terrarium.

As with all succulents, overwatering is sure to be fatal, so err on the side of too dry rather than too wet, never letting it sit in water. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after about 15 minutes. If you want compact and colourful growth, keep the plant in direct, high light. If you ever see them grow really tall, that usually means they had too much water or not enough sun.
