Humidity is required for the plant to bloom. Some light is necessary but not direct sun. This plant will not do well under artificial light. Water a little less in winter. This plant needs good drainage, so water until the water flows out the drain holes in the container.
Some people are allergic to the pollen.
As the flower color fades from white to brown or green, remove the entire flower stalk at its base. This plant requires a large pot, but it should be kept potbound. Repot, if necessary in February or March. Put a layer of broken pottery in the bottom of the pot for drainage. If roots appear on the surface cover them with a layer of sphagnum moss which is kept damp or repot the plant.
