- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.
- Humidity: Thrives in higher humidity levels. It’s beneficial to mist the leaves or place the pot on a pebble tray with water to increase humidity.
- Temperature: Ideally, keep it in a warm environment between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C).
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one that retains some moisture but allows excess water to escape.
- Fertilization: During the growing season (spring and summer), use a balanced liquid fertilizer every few weeks to promote growth.
- Pests: Watch out for common houseplant pests like spider mites and mealybugs. Regular inspections can help catch any issues early.
