Care Instructions

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light, but can tolerate some shade. Too much direct sunlight may scorch the leaves, while too little can cause legginess.

Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter.

Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity. If indoor air is dry, mist occasionally or use a pebble tray.

Temperature: Ideal range is 10–24°C. Protect from extreme cold or heat.

Soil: Well-draining potting mix with good aeration.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

Pruning & Maintenance: Trim regularly to maintain shape and prevent legginess. Pinching off tips encourages fuller growth.
