Care Tips

Light: Provide bright filtered light or partial shade. Protect from harsh direct sun.

Water: Keep the mix lightly moist during active growth, allowing the surface to begin drying before watering. Drain thoroughly and avoid prolonged dry spells.

Soil: Use a moisture-retentive but freely draining houseplant mix.

Potting: Choose a pot with drainage holes and repot when the roots need more room.

Humidity: Provide good airflow and avoid persistently damp foliage.

Temperature: Shelter from frost and cold drafts.
