Plant Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers abundant bright, indirect light and can benefit from gentle morning sunlight. Avoid sudden exposure to intense direct sun, which may scorch the foliage.
- Water: Allow the top 3–5 cm of soil to dry before watering thoroughly. Let excess water drain completely and avoid allowing the plant to sit in standing water.
- Soil: Use a fertile, loose, well-draining indoor potting mix amended with perlite, bark, or similar material to provide good root aeration.
- Humidity: Appreciates moderate humidity and stable growing conditions. Keep away from excessively dry heating vents, air conditioners, and strong drafts.
- Temperature: Thrives at approximately 18–27°C. Protect from sudden temperature fluctuations and prolonged temperatures below 13°C.
- Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer according to label directions. Reduce feeding during slower winter growth.
- Maintenance: Wipe the broad leaves periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and maximize light absorption. Rotate occasionally for balanced growth, but avoid frequent changes in location.
- Pruning: Remove damaged or declining foliage with clean tools. Selective stem pruning can help control height, improve shape, and encourage fuller branching.
- Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when noticeably root-bound, moving into a sturdy container only slightly larger than the existing pot with excellent drainage.
Note: Plant height, fullness, leaf size, and growth habit may naturally vary from the product image. Plant pot may also vary in design. Most plants come in a one-time-use plastic grower pot.
