🔆 Light Requirements
-
Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light encourages the healthiest growth and vibrant leaf color.
-
Tolerates: Low light to medium light, making it suitable for offices, bathrooms, and shaded corners.
-
Avoid: Prolonged harsh direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves, though occasional sun is fine.
💧 Watering Guidelines
-
When to Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
-
Frequency: Typically every 2–4 weeks, depending on season, temperature, and pot size.
-
Important: Overwatering is the most common mistake — soggy soil can lead to root rot.
🌾 Soil & Potting
-
Soil: Use a fast-draining mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. You can also mix regular potting soil with sand or perlite for extra drainage.
-
Pot: Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent water accumulation at the bottom.
🌱 Fertilization
-
Feed: Once a month during spring and summer with a diluted balanced or succulent fertilizer.
-
Avoid: Fertilizing in fall and winter, as growth slows naturally.
✂️ Pruning & Maintenance
-
Prune: Remove any dried, damaged, or yellowing leaves by cutting them at the base.
-
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound and the pot starts to bulge.
🪴 Humidity & Temperature
-
Humidity: Tolerates typical indoor humidity well — no special misting required.
-
Temperature: Prefers 18–29°C (65–85°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C (50°F).
