-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
-
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in the winter months.
-
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity levels (around 60% or higher). Consider misting the leaves or placing a humidifier nearby if the air is dry.
-
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C - 27°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
-
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
-
Pruning: Prune to maintain shape and promote bushier growth. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves regularly.
-
Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, using a well-draining potting mix.
