Care

General Maintenance: Trim back any dead or dying leaves. Overall these plants have very easy care requirements!
Temperature: Room temperatures that average 18°C-24ºC and no lower than 15ºC. Avoid drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Light: A good bright spot within a room without direct sunlight is advised. Too much direct sun will cause leaf burn.

Watering: During the growing season (May - Aug) water frequently. Always keep the soil moist (not waterlogged). During the winter cut this down and only water when the top soil has become dry to the touch. These plants do like some extra humidity so using a pebble tray or lightly misting can be beneficial.

Fertilizer: Use a balanced feed to encourage the foliage to look healthy and more attractive. Feed once a month from April - August. Soil: Any well-draining soil will work perfectly.
