  • Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal; direct sun scorches leaves.

  • Watering: Keep soil moist, allowing the top inch or two to dry between waterings; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

  • Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60%+); use a humidifier or pebble tray.

  • Temperature: Thrives in average to warm indoor temps (65-85°F / 18-26°C); keep away from cold drafts.

  • Soil: A rich, well-draining potting mix is essential.

  • Fertilizer: Feed monthly (diluted) during spring and summer.
