Plant Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light for dense, healthy growth. It can tolerate medium light, although growth may become slower or less compact. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight.
- Water: Allow the top 3–5 cm of soil to dry before watering thoroughly. Let excess moisture drain completely and avoid keeping the root zone constantly wet.
- Soil: Use a fertile, loose, well-draining indoor potting mix with added perlite or bark to promote healthy root aeration.
- Humidity: Adapts to average household humidity but appreciates moderate humidity and good air circulation for lush foliage.
- Temperature: Thrives at approximately 18–27°C. Protect from cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, and prolonged temperatures below 13°C.
- Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted according to label directions. Reduce feeding during slower winter growth.
- Maintenance: Wipe the glossy foliage periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. Rotate the plant regularly to encourage balanced, even growth.
- Pruning: Trim long or uneven stems to maintain the desired shape and encourage fuller branching. Remove yellowing or damaged foliage with clean tools.
- Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when roots become crowded, using a sturdy, slightly larger container with adequate drainage.
Note: Plant height, fullness, foliage appearance, 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.
