  • Humidity: Enjoys average household humidity but appreciates an occasional misting.

  • Temperature: Keep between 65–80°F; protect from drafts and cold temperatures below 60°F.

  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix; adding perlite improves drainage.

  • Fertilizer: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

  • Maintenance: Remove yellowing leaves to encourage new growth and wipe foliage to keep it dust-free.
