- Care and Maintenance:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering in the winter months.
- Soil: Well-draining potting mix is ideal.
- Fertilizing: Fertilize every 15-20 days during the growing season (spring and summer) with an all-purpose liquid fertilizer.
- Humidity: Appreciates higher humidity levels, so regular misting or placing the pot on a tray of moistened pebbles can be beneficial.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures above 16°C (61°F) and avoid cold drafts.
- Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to encourage new growth.
