Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity environments. Mist the leaves regularly or place a humidifier nearby to maintain optimal humidity levels.
• Temperature: Ideal temperatures range between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect from drafts and sudden temperature changes.
• Soil: Use well-draining, rich, loamy soil.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season.
• Pests: Watch out for common pests like spider mites and mealybugs. Treat with insecticidal soap if necessary.
