- Watering: Allow the top 1 to 2 inches of soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly and ensure proper drainage.
- Soil: Plant in a well-draining potting mix to prevent root rot.
- Temperature: Keep in a warm indoor environment between 15°C to 24°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.
- Maintenance: Occasionally rotate the pot to ensure even light exposure, as the plant naturally leans toward the light source. Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and glossy.
