| I'm assuming your BofP is in a pot and indoors. Let me know if that is incorrect. Indoors it should be right in front of a sunny window. Unless you moved it into a large pot, then it is best to water it very thoroughly every week or as soon as the surface of the soil is dry. Always add enough water so that a small amount trickles through the drain holes. With this plant, it is better to err on the side of too much rather than too little water. Low humidity is not a problem as long as the soil is kept moist. Fertilizer doesn't make much difference. Use the 10-10-10 once per month at half strength.
