🔆 Light Requirements

• Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light keeps leaves glossy and growth compact.

• Tolerates: Some direct morning or late afternoon sun.

• Avoid: Low light, which causes leaf drop, and harsh midday sun, which may scorch leaves.

💧 Watering Guidelines

• When to Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering.

• Frequency: About once every 1–2 weeks, adjusting for season and light levels.

• Important: Overwatering is the most common issue — ensure soil drains well to prevent root rot.

🌾 Soil & Potting

• Soil: Well-draining mix with peat or coco coir, perlite, and a touch of bark for aeration.

• Pot: Sturdy pot with drainage holes; slightly snug pots help avoid excess soil moisture.

🌱 Fertilization

• Feed: Every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

• Avoid: Fertilizing in fall and winter when growth naturally slows.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves; pinch new growth tips to encourage branching.

• Repotting: Every 2–3 years, or when roots outgrow the container. Refresh soil during repotting.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; mist leaves or use a humidifier in dry climates.

• Temperature: Thrives between 18–27°C (65–80°F). Keep away from drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
