🌱 Care Tips

• Water: Keep soil evenly moist — allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.

• Humidity: Loves high humidity; mist regularly or place near a humidifier.

• Temperature: Ideal temperature range 18°C–28°C; avoid cold drafts and temps below 15°C.

• Soil: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix that retains moisture.

• Fertiliser: Feed every 4 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertiliser.

• Pet Friendly: ✔️ Safe for cats and dogs (non-toxic).
