Over a period of four weeks, reduce the available light to the intensity of the location selected for the plant. Next, leach the soil mixture by allowing water to filter down through the soil and escape through the drainage hole. Repeat this leaching process four or five times. This removes excess fertilizer or salts that can cause leaf drop when light intensities are low. Avoid moisture stress by maintaining the suggested relative humidity and soil moisture content.
Greenhouses are more humid than most living areas.
While you cannot duplicate that environment in your home, using a humidifier benefits both you and your plants. Conditioning, then, is a matter of anticipating the kinds of problems the change in environment creates for the plant.
