To water
The Medinilla needs little water, it is early enough to give the plant a glass of water when the leaves are slightly limp.
Spraying
The Medinilla likes a spray every now and then, after all, the Medinilla originally comes from the tropics. A spraying is not necessarily necessary, but it does increase the humidity, which ultimately benefits the plant.
Location
Lots of light in winter, preferably direct sunlight, but no full sun in summer. This is to prevent burning of the leaves.
Temperature
Between 17 and 25 °
Nutrition
Do not feed during flowering, the plant is supplied with sufficient food on delivery. Feed once every two weeks after flowering. Use Pokon flowering plant food for this.
Rebloom
After flowering, it is advisable to remove the old flowers to accelerate further growth. The plant will then start making new leaves where the flowers used to be. When these have grown, it is important to put the plant on a bit cooler spot (16 to 17°C) to initiate bud formation in the young leaves. Mind you, the plant continues to need light. If the buds are clearly visible, the plant can return to its normal temperature, allowing the buds to develop further into a new flower splendor.
Repot
In principle, repotting can be done all year round, only during flowering it is not advisable because of the fragility of the flowers.
Pruning

By placing this stem in cutting soil and then leaving it at a temperature of 20 to 25 °C for 6 to 8 weeks, the plant will have rooted and you can place it in a pot.
Flowers
