Growth Requirements

Light

• Thrives in low to bright indirect light.
• Can tolerate low-light conditions, making it an ideal plant for offices and shaded rooms.
• Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves.

Watering

• Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry.
• Overwatering can cause root rot, so ensure proper drainage.
• Reduce watering in winter when growth slows down.

Soil

• Prefers well-draining, nutrient-rich soil.
• Ideal soil mix:
  • Peat-based potting mix
  • Perlite for aeration
  • Organic compost for nutrients

Humidity & Temperature

• Prefers moderate to high humidity (40-70%).
• Ideal temperature: 65-80°F (18-27°C).
• Keep away from cold drafts, air conditioners, and heaters.

Fertilization

• Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) once a month during spring and summer.
• Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent leaf damage.

Care & Maintenance

Repotting

• Repot every 1-2 years or when roots outgrow the pot.
• Use a slightly larger pot with good drainage.

Pruning

• Prune yellow or damaged leaves to maintain its appearance.
• Regular pruning encourages bushy growth.

Propagation

• Easily propagated through stem cuttings or division:
  • Take a healthy stem with a few leaves.
  • Place in water or soil until roots develop.
