Care Guide
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Needs plenty of light to maintain its growth and leaf vitality. Can tolerate some direct morning sun but avoid strong midday rays to prevent leaf scorch.
- Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 2 - 3 inches of soil feel dry. Adjust watering frequency in winter to prevent overwetting.
- Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 18 - 30°C (65 - 86°F). It's sensitive to cold, so protect it from drafts and temperatures below 10°C (50°F).
