Key Plant Care Guidelines:

• Watering: Water frequently, allowing the top 2-inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity levels (70% optimal, minimum 45%). Mist regularly, group with other plants, or use a humidifier/pebble tray.
• Soil: Use a rich, well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix (pH 5.5-6.0) with perlite and peat for optimal growth.
• Fertilizer: Fertilize moderately during the growing season (spring/summer).
• Temperature: Maintain stable household temperatures; avoid sudden fluctuations.
• Growth: Expect indoor growth up to 3 feet tall (90cm). Prune dead leaves to encourage healthy new growth.
