    Default Pescatorea growing conditions

    Hi, again. I also got a Pescatorea cerina seedling this weekend. I have read that it likes abundant water but not a lot of sun. Again, I'm just looking for practical tips from anyone who has experience growing these. Thank you.

    Oops. I think it is spelled wrong on the tag. In my book it is spelled Pescatorea. No wonder it was so hard to find info.
