  • Thrives in bright, indirect light.

  • Can tolerate low light but may lead to leggy growth and reduced vibrancy.

  • Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves.

Watering

  • Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering.

  • Water thoroughly, ensuring excess water drains out—avoid waterlogging.

  • Reduce watering in cooler months when growth slows.

Temperature

  • Ideal temperature: 65–80°F.

  • Cannot tolerate temperatures below 55°F.

  • Keep away from cold drafts, heaters, and air conditioners.

Fertilizing

  • Feed during the growing season (spring–summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks.

  • Do not fertilize in fall and winter when growth slows.
