Care Guide

Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light
• Can tolerate medium light but may grow slower
• Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch delicate leaves

Water

• Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy
• Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry slightly between waterings
• Sensitive to overwatering—excellent drainage is essential

Humidity

• Requires high humidity to thrive (60% or higher preferred)
• Benefits greatly from humidifiers or enclosed plant setups
• Low humidity can cause crisping or leaf decline

Toxicity

• Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested
• Keep out of reach of pets and children
