Care Instructions
Light
Bright indirect is preferred. Direct light will cause burning on the leaves.
Water
Allow the top 1"-2” of soil to dry in between waterings. Water thoroughly and remove excess water.
Repotting
Can be done every 12-18 months. Choose a pot that is 2” larger in diameter than the original pot.
Soil
Use a well-draining, high organic matter soil mix.
Temperature
Average from 65°F to 75°F
Feeding
Follow a monthly fertilizing schedule when the plant is actively growing. In most cases, this is in the spring and summer. Use a balanced fertilizer - this means a ratio of NPK that is all the same. Ex: 10-10-10.

Mist the leaves every so often to increase humidity.
