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 in dry indoor air.
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.
