Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can adapt to lower light conditions but thrives in moderate to bright, filtered sunlight. Protect it from intense, direct sunlight, which can lead to leaf burn.
Water Requirements: Keep soil consistently moist during the growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering. Reduce watering in the dormant season.
Soil Preference: Well-draining, lightweight potting mix. A mix with peat, perlite, and pine bark is suitable.
Fertilizing: Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce frequency in fall and winter.
Hardiness Zone: Suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 10-11 when grown outdoors.
Pet Safety: Considered mildly toxic to pets. Monitor pets around the plant and seek veterinary advice if ingestion is suspected.
Additional Care Tips: Prune to maintain shape and control size. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust. Provide support for aerial roots if desired.
