Sunlight: Prefers bright indirect light. Rotate the pot weekly to keep the canopy growing symmetrically toward the light source.

Watering: Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. When lower leaves droop slightly, soak thoroughly.

Humidity: Adapts comfortably to standard household humidity (40%–50%).

Nutrition: Dilute balanced organic fertilizer to half-strength once per month in spring and summer.

💡 Horticulturist Pro Tip: Gently separate baby plantlets from the base with clean shears once they reach 2 inches tall to pot into new gifts.
