🌞 Light & Placement
Prefers low to medium indirect light—thrives where other plants struggle, making it perfect for dim European apartments.
💧 Water & Humidity
Allow the top 3 cm of soil to dry before watering. Mist occasionally or place near a humidity tray if air is very dry indoors.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining, loamy potting mix. Repot only every 3–4 years—this plant likes to stay slightly root-bound.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Winter rest period—reduce watering during cold months when growth slows.
Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and keep them glossy.
🐛 Common Issues
Browning leaf tips: often due to inconsistent watering or dry air—improve water-humidity balance.
Rarely affected by pests—check for scale and treat promptly if spotted.

These came in perfect shape and are so easy. We put them on rocks and soak them in water once a week. Two weeks now and they still look so fresh. That never happens with our plants.
