Basic Care Guide

• Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Keep it away from harsh, direct afternoon sun to prevent the leaves from scorching, but avoid overly dark corners which can cause leaf drop.

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Water thoroughly when the top inch of the soil feels dry. This plant appreciates stability, so try to avoid letting the root ball dry out completely.

• Soil: Requires a rich, well-draining, and aerated potting mix to prevent waterlogging and root rot.

• Feeding: Apply a balanced, water-soluble indoor plant fertilizer once a month during the warmer growing months to encourage lush, healthy foliage.
