Water:
Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water 1–2 times weekly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry between waterings.
Soil:
Well-draining mix of peat, perlite, and compost or rich potting soil. Good aeration is key to prevent root rot.
Fertilizer:
Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning:
Trim older or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth and maintain a neat shape.
Pests:
Watch for mealybugs or spider mites; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
Ideal For:
Indoor décor, shaded patios, and tropical-themed gardens. Great as a statement foliage plant or part of a lush green collection.
