-
Light: Loves strong indirect light. The more sun, the better—this is key for healthy growth and possible flowering. Rotate regularly to encourage upright growth.
-
Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. It prefers consistent moisture but can tolerate short dry periods. In winter, reduce watering slightly.
-
Humidity: Appreciates moderate humidity but adapts well to average indoor levels.
-
Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18–29°C.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix. A mix for tropical plants or a blend with peat, perlite, and compost works well.
-
Feeding: During spring and summer, feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced, liquid fertilizer to support growth.
