The Brahma Kamal (Saussurea obvallata) is a beautiful and sacred plant, known for its stunning white flowers that bloom at night. It holds cultural significance in many regions, especially in India, where it’s associated with spiritual practices.
### Care Tips for Brahma Kamal:
1. **Light**: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little can hinder flowering.
2. **Watering**: Water moderately. Keep the soil moist but allow the top inch to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
3. **Soil**: Use well-draining soil, ideally a mix designed for cacti or succulents, as it doesn’t like overly wet conditions.
4. **Humidity**: Enjoys higher humidity levels, so misting or placing it in a humid environment can be beneficial.
5. **Temperature**: Thrives in warm temperatures (around 70°F to 85°F). Protect from cold drafts and frost.
6. **Fertilizing**: Use a balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) to promote healthy growth and blooming.
7. **Repotting**: Repot every couple of years to refresh the soil and provide more space for growth.
