Care Guide

🌿 Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
💧 Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Overwatering can cause root rot, so ensure good drainage.
💦 Humidity: Tolerates average indoor humidity but benefits from occasional misting.
🌡️ Temperature: Thrives in 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
🌱 Soil: Well-draining, peat-based potting mix is ideal.
🪴 Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
✂️ Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking fresh.
⚠️ Toxicity: Toxic to pets if ingested due to saponins, which can cause vomiting and drooling in cats and dogs.
