Care Instructions:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight but may need protection from intense afternoon sun to prevent leaf burn.

Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, reducing watering frequency in the winter months.

Humidity: Enjoys higher humidity levels but is adaptable. A humidity level of around 40-60% is ideal. You can mist the leaves or use a humidity tray if needed.

Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect from temperatures below 50°F (10°C) to ensure healthy growth.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Adding perlite or orchid bark can improve drainage.

Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Withhold fertilizer in fall and winter.

Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed. Trim back any leggy growth to encourage bushier growth and remove any dead or yellowing leaves.
