Plant Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can also tolerate some direct sunlight. However, too much direct sun may cause the leaves to burn.
💧 Water: Keep the soil moist, but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in the winter months.
🌱 Soil: Well-draining soil is essential. Use a potting mix designed for tropical plants or add sand or perlite to improve drainage.
🌡 Temperature: Best grown in warm conditions, between 65°F - 75°F (18°C - 24°C). Keep it away from cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
🧰 Maintenance: Trim any yellow or brown leaves to maintain its clean, vibrant look. If growing outdoors, it’s best to bring it inside during cold weather.
📏 Size: The plant grows up to 3-6 feet tall when mature, with a 2-3 foot spread.
