Care Tips:

  • Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch.

  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy; water when the top layer begins to dry.

  • Soil: Well-draining, airy mix rich in organic matter (peat or compost with perlite).

  • Temperature: Prefers warm conditions, 18–26 °C (65–79 °F); protect from cold and frost.

  • Humidity: Likes moderate to high humidity; use a humidifier or humidity tray if air is dry.

  • Air circulation: Good airflow helps prevent fungal diseases.

  • Fertilizer: Apply a diluted balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.

  • Pruning: Remove leggy or old stems to maintain shape and encourage new growth.

  • Propagation: Easily propagated from stem or leaf cuttings in warm, humid conditions.

  • Pests & diseases: Watch for aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, and root rot from overwatering.
