-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
-
Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in the winter months.
-
Humidity: Thrives in higher humidity levels (around 50% or more), making it ideal for bathrooms or kitchens. If the air is too dry, consider using a humidity tray or a humidifier.
-
Temperature: Ideal temperature range is between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
-
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one designed for aroids, which promotes good aeration and prevents waterlogging.
-
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in fall and winter.
-
Pruning: Regularly remove yellow or damaged leaves to encourage new growth and maintain plant health.
