Moses-in-a-basket

Moses-in-a-basket plants prefer all day access to bright, indirect light but should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season, but allow the top of the soil to dry out in between watering. During the summer months when the plant is actively growing, it will need to be watered more frequently, about every 5-7 days. For winter months, reduce the frequency of waterings to once every 10-14 days. If you can keep the humidity levels moderate, then you should only water when the top 2 inches of the soil are dry.

Moses-in-a-basket plants thrive when exposed to bright, indirect sunlight throughout the day. The most ideal amount of sunlight for this plant species is 4 to 6 hours of bright, indirect sunlight per day. Direct exposure to the sunlight should be avoided, as this can lead to sunburn or bleaching of the plant's leaves. If there is not enough indirect sunlight available, then the Moses-in-a-basket can be supplemented with artificial fluorescent lighting for a few hours per day.

Moses-in-a-basket plants can be pruned to shape them into different styles. Pruning should be done moderately in early spring or late fall. During this time, you should use sharp, sterile pruners to remove up to 2-third of the plant’s stems leaving the strongest stems behind. Be sure to only prune healthy tissue and always discard any diseased or dead tissue. Also, prune at a 45-degree angle and avoid cutting any stems at ground level unless propagating.
