Care Instructions:

The Cobra Lily is a remarkable plant that thrives with specific care:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Too much direct sun can overheat the roots, so filtered light is ideal.
• Temperature: Enjoys cooler root temperatures. In hotter climates, consider placing the pot in a tray of cool water or providing shade during the hottest parts of the day.
• Water: Use cold, pure water such as distilled, reverse osmosis, or rainwater. Keep the soil consistently moist but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Plant in a mix of sphagnum peat moss and perlite or long-fiber sphagnum moss to replicate its natural boggy habitat.
• Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity environments. A humidity tray or occasional misting can be beneficial.
• Dormancy: Requires a winter dormancy period. Reduce watering and maintain cooler temperatures during this time to mimic its natural lifecycle.
