🪴 Plant Care Guide
☀️ Light Requirements
Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Unlike softer tropical plants, it can tolerate direct morning sun and higher light levels. Avoid prolonged harsh afternoon sun to keep leaves vibrant.
💧 Watering Needs
Drought tolerant! Water only when the top 2 inches of soil feel completely dry. Reduce watering significantly during winter months. Pro Tip: Avoid overwatering to keep the roots healthy.
🌱 Soil & Potting
Requires well-draining potting soil mixed with perlite or coarse sand. Excellent drainage is key.
🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
Prefers normal indoor temperatures between 65°F to 85°F (18°C–29°C). Protect from severe cold drafts or temperatures dropping below 50°F (10°C). Standard household humidity is sufficient.
