How to care for Bali (Life on Lava)

Keep Bali's tray full of water at all times - she'll soak it right up. No need to water her from the top. Bali isn't a fan of tap water as the limescale turns her rock white, so we always suggest using distilled or filtered water.

Keeping Bali at a spot that has plently of indirect light will ensure that she thrives!

She likes a bit of humidity, so try spritzing her leaves every so often with a plant mister. You can also try the other recommended methods for increasing humidity in our Care Guide.

Feed with a diluted liquid fertiliser at a quarter of the recommended strength when watering in spring and summer.
