Plant Care Needs:

• Sun Requirements: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium to low light. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn.
• Watering Frequency: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Typically, every 7-10 days, but frequency can vary based on light and temperature.
• Soil Requirements: Plant in well-draining potting soil. A mix of peat, perlite, and compost is recommended for optimal growth.
• Temperature Requirements: Best kept in temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect from cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Humidity Requirements: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50-70%). Mist regularly or use a humidifier in drier climates.
• Propagation Methods: Propagate easily by stem cuttings in water or soil. Make sure each cutting has at least one node.
• Care Difficulty: Easy. Great for beginners or those with less-than-ideal light conditions.
• Additional Care Information:
• Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.
• Prune to control size and promote bushier growth.
• Regularly clean leaves to remove dust and allow for better light absorption.
