Description
Care Instructions:
-
Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight for optimal growth. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, it may grow more slowly.
-
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch (2.5 cm) of soil feels slightly dry. Reduce watering during the dormant winter months.
-
Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity levels, ideally between 50% to 60%. Regular misting or using a humidity tray can help create the right environment.
-
Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment with temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
-
Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix with good organic matter.
-
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop feeding in the fall and winter.
-
Pruning: Trim the plant to maintain its shape and remove yellowing or damaged leaves. The plant can become quite bushy.
-
Pests and Diseases: Monitor for common houseplant pests like mealybugs or spider mites and treat promptly if noticed. Adequate airflow can help prevent fungal issues.
-
Repotting: Repot when the plant becomes root-bound, typically every 2-3 years.
