Lucky Bean Plant (Castanospermum) Repotting and Care

Keep bean visible at soil level—it will shrivel eventually. Repot only 2 inches wider. Likes tight pots.

Care

• Water when top inch dry. Empty saucer at 1 hr.
• Filtered/distilled water if tap hard.
• Bright indirect + few hours direct sun (east/west window).
• Half-strength fertilizer when vigorous.
• 60–80°F. Toxic bean—keep from pets/kids.

In tropics, grows to 100 ft. In pot, stays manageable with tight quarters.
