Plant Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can adapt to medium light. Too much direct sun may scorch the leaves.
💧 Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Don’t overwater—let excess moisture drain well.
🌱 Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A blend for indoor tropicals works well.
🌡 Temperature: Happy between 60–80°F (16–27°C). Avoid drafts or cold windows.
🌿 Humidity: Average household humidity is fine, but it won’t mind a light misting.
🍽 Feeding: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer.
✂️ Pruning: Prune to shape and control height—this plant responds well to trimming!
