Care

General Maintenance: It does not need to be repotted often (just when rootbound). Trim any brown leaves.

Temperature: Room temperatures that average 18-24ºC and no lower than 15ºC. Avoid drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Light: While this plant loves sun, avoid prolonged direct exposure to the sun rays.

Watering: Water once the pot begins to feel light when lifted avoiding wetting the foliage. Setting the pot in a saucer of water (20% submerged) works very well, ensuring, of course, the pot has proper drainage holes. If the leaves begin to turn yellow, that will indicate too much water has been given.

Soil: Any well-draining soil will work, along with a pot with proper drainage holes.

Fertilizer: Use a balanced feed to encourage the foliage to look healthy and more attractive. Feed once a month from April - August.
