Watering
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly before watering.
Increase humidity by misting or using a humidifier to prevent brown leaf edges.
Temperature
Ideal temperature: 65–80°F.
Sensitive to temperatures below 60°F.

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