Care Difficulty

moderate

Sunlight

partial shade to full shade

Rotate plant weekly for even growth; avoid direct midday sun; provide dappled light if outdoors.

Watering

every 7–10 days during active growth, reduce in winter

Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom; allow soil to dry between waterings; avoid overwatering.

Soil

well-draining, humus-rich soil

pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0–7.0).

Ensure pots have drainage holes; avoid compacted soil; refresh soil every 2 years.

Temperature

Prefers 65–80°F (18–27°C); cooler temperatures (55–60°F or 13–15°C) at night; avoid sudden temperature fluctuations.

Use a thermometer to monitor; avoid placing near heating/cooling vents; maintain stable conditions.

Fertilizing

every 4–6 weeks during growing season

Fertilize after watering to prevent root burn; flush soil occasionally to prevent salt buildup; avoid overfertilizing.
