Care Tips & Requirements:

• Light:
  Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate medium light, but growth may slow. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

• Water:
  Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Water deeply and let excess drain. Avoid overwatering.

• Humidity:
  Average indoor humidity is fine. Occasionally mist during dry months or if air conditioning is constant.

• Temperature:
  Thrives in 18°C to 27°C (65°F to 80°F). Protect from cold drafts or sudden temperature drops.

• Soil:
  Use a well-draining potting mix. A blend for houseplants or indoor trees works well.

• Fertilizer:
  Feed monthly during growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Pause feeding in fall and winter.

• Potting & Maintenance:
  Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the container. Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and help the plant breathe better.
