Prefers average household temperatures, 60? at night, and 70?F during the day, the 10 degree dip at night is crucial to set buds! Keep soil evenly moist at all times. Supply extra humidity by spray misting or setting on a shallow tray of moistened pebbles. Feed with an acidic plant food like Holly-tone? April-September. Bud drop is a common occurence that may be caused by too much or too little water, dry air, cold or hot drafts, or too many dark winter days.
