Originating from environments with moderate humidity, maesa has adapted to a watering regimen that mirrors its natural setting. It exhibits a preference for evenly moist soil conditions, without being waterlogged. To maintain this balance, maesa should be watered once every 2-3 weeks, ensuring the top layer of soil dries out slightly between watering sessions. As an indoor plant, maesa thrives when the ambient humidity reflects its native climate, which can often be achieved through regular misting or using a pebble tray. During its active growth season, maintaining consistent moisture levels is crucial for maesa's vitality.
