Caring Tips (Consistency is key for happy leaves!):
Light: Bright, indirect light is perfect (a few feet from an east- or west-facing window with filtered sun). It can handle some morning sun but avoid harsh midday rays to prevent scorching.
Water: Water when the top 2–5 cm (1–2 inches) of soil feels dry. Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy — excellent drainage prevents root rot. Reduce watering in winter.
Humidity & Temperature: Prefers average to high humidity (mist leaves, use a pebble tray, or humidifier). Thrives at 18–27°C; protect from drafts, cold below 15°C, and sudden temperature swings.
Soil & Feeding; Well-draining potting mix (add perlite for aeration). Fertilize monthly with balanced liquid fertilizer during spring & summer; ease off in fall/winter.
Extra Love: Prune to shape and encourage bushiness. It may drop leaves if moved, stressed, or conditions change - give it a stable spot and steady care for best results.
A graceful, air-purifying classic that's perfect for anyone wanting an elegant, tree-like houseplant with personality and longevity — once it settles in, it's a forever favorite!
