Care Instructions

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate medium light but growth may slow. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Keep soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Reduce watering in winter.
• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (50%+). Mist occasionally or use a pebble tray for best results.
• Feeding: Fertilize every 3-4 weeks during spring and summer with diluted liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
• Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
• Soil: Use well-draining potting mix. A blend for aroids or tropical plants works perfectly.
