Care Instructions

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates low to medium light conditions; avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch.
Soil Needs: Requires well-draining potting soil; a standard indoor plant mix with added perlite is ideal.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry; do not overwater.
Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity; mist occasionally or place near a humidifier when indoor air is dry.
Fertilizing: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning: Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves at the base to maintain appearance and encourage healthy growth.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when roots become crowded to refresh the soil and support continued growth.

Please note: This plant comes in its grower’s nursery pot, ready to place in your favorite decorative pot at home. The pot in the picture is not included.
