Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
Reduce watering during the dormant winter months, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more between waterings to prevent root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
Reduce watering during the dormant winter months, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more between waterings to prevent root rot.
Prune regularly to maintain a bushy shape and encourage more blooms. Remove spent flowers and trim back leggy stems to about half their length.
This also helps to direct the plant's energy into producing new growth and flowers.
Propagate Kohleria Anisophylla from stem cuttings or by dividing rhizomes. Take 4-6 inch stem cuttings in spring or summer, dip in rooting hormone, and plant in moist potting mix.
Rhizomes can be gently separated and potted up individually.
Repot every 1-2 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a peat-based blend with perlite.
Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
