Care & Growing Condition:
-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low-light conditions. However, optimal leaf coloration will be best in brighter light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
-
Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. Ensure proper drainage, avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot.
-
Humidity: Thrives in average humidity levels but appreciates higher humidity. Generally, it adapts well to average household humidity.
-
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). There’s no need to fertilize in the fall and winter when growth slows.
-
Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a well-draining potting mix, and choose a pot size only one size larger to prevent excessive soil moisture.
-
Pruning: Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves. Regular pruning can help encourage bushier growth.
-
Pest Management: Regularly check for pests such as spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Wipe down the leaves with a damp cloth and use insecticidal soap if necessary.
