Alpinia Rugosa Care Plan

1. Light:

• Partial to Full Shade: Alpinia Rugosa thrives in partial to full shade, making it ideal for spots with filtered sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may hinder growth. It’s best suited for an environment with dappled light, such as under a canopy of trees.

2. Watering:

• Regular Watering: This plant prefers consistently moist soil. Water regularly, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. During the warmer months, it may require more frequent watering. In winter, reduce watering slightly, but do not allow the soil to dry out completely.

3. Humidity:

• High Humidity: Alpinia Rugosa thrives in high humidity environments, ideally above 60%. You can increase humidity by misting the plant regularly, using a humidifier, or placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water.

4. Temperature:

• Warm Temperatures: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between18-27°C It is sensitive to cold and should be protected from temperatures below 10°C. In colder climates, it is best grown indoors or in a greenhouse.
