Care Difficulty: This plant has easy care needs.

Light requirements: As an indoor plant, it requires bright but indirect light, but can tolerate a semi shady spot.

Watering: Water the plant thoroughly after allowing the top 2 inches of soil to dry out. This plant does not like overwatering so make sure the soil has sufficient drainage and that the pot has drainage holes.

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. Humidifiers are also beneficial to increase humidity, or placing in bathroom or kitchens. Also good for terrariums.

Toxicity: Toxic to pets & humans.

Feeding: Can be fed in the growing season during spring and summer around once a month, but refrain from feeding in winter.

Repotting: Can be repotted every 2-3 years or when it has outgrown its current pot.
