    Quick Care Guide

    Care Difficulty: Moderate care need.

    Light requirements: Prefers bright indirect light. Direct sunlight can cause the leaves to burn.

    Watering: Water thoroughly but allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings.Avoid getting leaves wet.

    Humidity: Loves humidity. Grouping humidity-loving plants together can help, as can placing pots of a wet pebble tray. You can mist the area around the foliage although this will only increase humidity temporarily. Be cautious to not mist excessively as this can lead to fungal issues. Humidifiers are also beneficial to increase humidity.

    Toxicity: Toxic to humans and pets

    Feeding: Enjoys being fed during Spring- Summer growth period every 2-3 weeks. Always follow the instructions on your feed of choice.

    Repotting: Repot around once a year -check to see if the roots are coming out the bottom of the pot!
