Adapted to the intermittent rainfall of its native habitat, maieta thrives with moderate hydration. This species is known for its resilience in periods of low water availability, maintaining a balance between moisture retention and drought tolerance. Care should be taken to water maieta once every 2-3 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between watering sessions. As an indoor plant, maieta benefits from occasional misting to emulate the humidity levels it naturally prefers, enhancing its lush foliage and overall vitality.
