🌞 Light & Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light but adapts well to medium light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch leaves. Ideal for living rooms, offices, or kitchens with filtered light.
💧 Water & Humidity
Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry before watering. Prefers moderate humidity but tolerates normal indoor conditions well. Mist occasionally to keep foliage fresh.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining indoor potting mix with perlite for aeration. Repot every 1–2 years in spring as roots fill the pot to maintain vigorous growth.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Toxic if ingested by pets or humans due to calcium oxalate crystals. Keep out of reach of cats, dogs, and small children.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Fast grower under optimal conditions. Easily propagate via stem cuttings in water or soil during spring and summer to create new plants or share with friends.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Rotate regularly to encourage even growth. Wipe leaves monthly to remove dust and keep them glossy. Reduce watering slightly in winter as growth slows naturally.
🐛 Common Issues
Yellowing leaves often indicate overwatering. Watch for spider mites or aphids in dry conditions; treat infestations promptly with neem oil if needed.
