Care

General Maintenance: These plants will tolerate being repotted once every spring, but try to only repot if the plant has become root bound. Can be propagated by division while repotting. This plant does not require regular pruning to maintain its shape, but try to remove any dead or dying leaves to promote new growth.

Temperature: Ideal temperature is 18ºC - 24ºC.

Light: Prefers bright light, but not direct. Too much direct sun will cause sunburn.

Watering: Best to water a little bit frequently, keeping the soil consistently moist rather than letting it dry out. Water much less in the winter. These plants enjoy high humidity so if it is fairly dry in your home consider using a pebble tray full of water under the plant or a humidifier.

Fertilizer: During the spring, feed with a diluted, balanced fertilizer every two weeks.

Soil: Use a fast draining, peat-based potting mix.
