Watering

• Water weekly in summer when the top 2 inches of soil are dry

• Slow down watering in winter when growth slows

• Always use well-draining soil to avoid root rot

Light

• Loves bright, indirect sunlight

• Avoid harsh direct sun to prevent scorched leaves

• Rotate the pot occasionally for even, balanced growth

Humidity

• Enjoys warm, humid air

• Mist regularly to support lush, vibrant foliage

• Group with other plants to naturally increase humidity

Pro Tip

Wipe the leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth every few weeks — it helps the plant breathe better and keeps the leaves glossy and dust-free.
