Water: Water before the medium is completely dry. Water deep and allow it to drain. Overwatering causes root rot and infection. Rain water or natural sources are recommended as the best.

Flowering: Cut the bloom spike when it has dried. It will not bloom again. Miltassia produces new shoots after blooming. A cooler period and less watering is helpful for blooming

Potting: Repotting yearly. Coconut husk or bark mix are ideal.

Fertilizer: Nitrogen: Phospherous: Pottassium (NPK)= 10:10:10 ideal mix if it is flowering or growing actively - monthly application adviced.
