Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top quarter of the soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
• Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity levels. Misting the leaves occasionally can be beneficial, especially in dry environments.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A blend of all-purpose potting soil with added perlite works well.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in winter.
• Temperature: Maintain an even temperature, ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
• Common Issues: Brown tips can indicate underwatering, low humidity, or excess fertilizer. Yellow leaves may signal overwatering or poor drainage.
