🌿 Care Tips

• Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Can tolerate some morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon rays that may scorch the leaves.

• Water: Allow the top 3–4 cm of soil to dry before watering. Avoid overwatering — the plant prefers slightly dry conditions to soggy soil.

• Humidity: Enjoys medium humidity. Mist occasionally or place near other plants to create a humid microclimate.

• Temperature: Thrives between 18°C–27°C (65°F–80°F). Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix — a blend of peat, perlite, and pine bark works beautifully.

• Fertiliser: Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted fertiliser.

• Pet Friendly: ❌ No. Toxic to pets if ingested.
