Quick Care Guide

Care Difficulty: Super easy to care for.

Light requirements: Prefers bright indirect light. Direct sunlight can cause the leaves to burn. Can tolerate lower light levels but can lose vibrancy in its colour.

Watering: Water thoroughly but allow this plant to dry out mostly between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot.

Humidity: Can do well in normal household conditions but will enjoy some extra humidity. Grouping plants together or placing on a pebble tray with water can help increase humidity.

Toxicity: Non toxic to humans and pets

Feeding: Enjoys being fed during Spring- Summer growth period once a month. Always follow the instructions on your feed of choice.

Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years -check to see if the roots are coming out the bottom of the pot!
