Care Instructions:

Light Requirements: Thrives in bright, indirect light but also tolerates medium to low light; avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
Soil Needs: Prefers a well-draining loamy or sandy mix with peat and perlite for aeration.
Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry; do not let the plant sit in standing water.
Humidity: Average household humidity is sufficient, though occasional misting helps keep foliage fresh.
Fertilizing: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning: Trim any brown or yellowing leaf tips and cut back stems to control height or encourage branching.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when rootbound, refreshing the soil for continued growth and vigor.

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