3. Comprehensive Care Guide An ideal choice for both beginners and experienced plant owners, the Song of India is famously low-maintenance. Provide your clients with these simple guidelines for long-lasting beauty:
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate lower light conditions but will display the best color in a bright spot. Protect from direct, harsh sun which can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches (2-5 cm) of soil feel dry to the touch. Allow the pot to drain completely and avoid letting the plant sit in water, which can lead to root rot. It is sensitive to fluoride, so using filtered or distilled water is recommended.
- Temperature & Humidity: Prefers average indoor temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Enjoys a humid environment but is adaptable to standard household humidity levels.
- Soil: A well-draining, high-quality potting mix is essential.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the spring and summer growing season. Do not fertilize in the fall and winter.

- Corporate & Office Spaces: Adds a touch of sophisticated nature to lobbies, reception areas, and executive suites.
- Hospitality Industry: Perfect for elevating the guest experience in hotel foyers, restaurants, and resorts.
- Residential Projects: An excellent standalone floor plant or centerpiece for living rooms, hallways, and home offices.
- Retail Environments: Creates a welcoming and high-end atmosphere in boutiques and showrooms.
