### Care Tips:
1. **Light**: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
2. **Watering**: Keep the soil moderately moist. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry, but avoid letting the plant sit in water.
3. **Humidity**: Enjoys high humidity, so misting or placing the pot on a humidity tray can help. Ideal humidity is 60% or higher.
4. **Temperature**: Thrives in temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature drops.
5. **Soil**: Well-draining, slightly acidic soil is ideal. A mix of peat, perlite, and pine bark works well.
6. **Fertilizing**: Fertilize monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilizing in fall and winter.
7. **Pruning**: Trim any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain its appearance. It can also be propagated via stem cuttings if desired.
