Light & Temperature for Vibrant Foliage

• Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain leaf vibrancy
• Tolerates medium light, but growth may slow
• Grows best in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C)

Humidity & Air Circulation for Healthy Growth

• Requires high humidity (60-80%) for optimal leaf texture
• Position near a humidifier or group with other plants
• Ensure proper air circulation to prevent fungal issues

When to Repot: Physical Signs to Watch For

• Slow growth and compact root systems suggest fresh soil is necessary
• If the plant leans excessively or struggles to anchor, a larger pot is beneficial

Watering & Soil Preferences

• Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot
