Light 🌞
Provide bright indirect light to several hours of gentle direct sun. Strong lighting helps maintain vibrant coloration and fuller growth.

Watering 💧
Water thoroughly once the upper portion of the soil has dried slightly. Avoid allowing the roots to remain constantly wet.

Soil 🕳️
Use a rich but well draining indoor potting mix. Adding bark and perlite helps improve airflow around the roots.

Fertilizing 🧪
Feed monthly during the active growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Repotting 🪴
Repot every couple of years or once roots begin becoming crowded. Fresh soil encourages vigorous healthy growth.
