Water thoroughly until water runs out of the drainage holes, then let the top 1-2 inches of soil dry completely. Overwatering (yellowing leaves) and underwatering (brown, crispy edges) can both be fatal.

• Best Light: Requires 6-8 hours of bright, indirect light. An east-facing window is ideal; south-facing windows may require sheer curtains to prevent sunburn.

• Location: Avoid cold drafts, air conditioning, and radiators. They thrive in warm, humid, tropical-like environments.

• Rotation: Rotate the pot 90 degrees every time you water to prevent the plant from leaning toward the light. 

Not Pet Safe, While not typically fatal in small amounts, the sap can cause skin irritation, and ingesting leaves causes discomfort.

Feed with a liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to 50% strength every 3-4 weeks during spring and summer. Stop feeding in late autumn and winter.

They need high humidity. Mist leaves often, use a humidifier, or place in a bright bathroom to avoid brown tips.

• Cleaning: Wipe leaves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, which enables better photosynthesis. 

• Pruning: Trim damaged leaves or prune the top to encourage a bushier, branched shape, ideally in spring or early summer.

• Pests: Watch for spider mites (webbing) or scale (sticky residue) and treat with neem oil if necessary.
