Care Guidelines
Light & Temperature: Bright, indirect light; avoid harsh sun. Keep indoors at 65–75 °F (18–24 °C); only move outdoors in filtered shade if you’re in USDA zones 10–11. Keep away from cold or hot air blasts.
Watering: When the top 1″ of soil feels dry (≈ weekly), water thoroughly so the mix is evenly moist. If a fabric outer pot is in place, lift it after watering to drain excess and prevent root rot.
Fertilizing: Every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer, apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10 NPK) at half strength; pause in fall and winter.
Repotting: Every two years (spring), refresh soil and move to a slightly larger pot with a well-draining mix.
Maintenance: Wipe leaves monthly to remove dust, mist regularly to maintain ≥ 60% humidity, and trim any yellowing edges to preserve its bright form.
