1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but its growth may slow down.
2. Watering: Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure that the soil is well-draining.
3. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for indoor tropical plants or containing perlite for added drainage.
4. Humidity: It thrives in moderate to high humidity, making it an ideal choice for bathrooms or kitchens. If your home is dry, occasional misting or a humidity tray can help.
5. Temperature: Keep in a warm environment, ideally between 18-26°C (65-80°F). It doesn’t tolerate cold drafts or temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
6. Fertilizer: Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) for optimal growth.
7. Pruning: Trim back any leggy growth to encourage a fuller, bushier appearance.
