Water: Allow top inch of soil to dry between heavy waterings. Avoid sitting plant in water for prolonged periods of time as this may lead to rot.
Light: Does best in bright, indirect light.
Soil: Prefers a loose, airy, well draining soil.
Humidity: Will appreciate the occasional mist or being placed on a pebble tray.
Fertilizer: Fertilize once monthly using a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer. Do not fertilize over winter months.
Tip: Repot yearly, or when the plant has become rootbound, going up one pot size each time.
