Troubleshooting
Leaves falling off easily
This is almost always a sign of overwatering. Ensure the soil is dry before the next watering.
Stems are long and leafless (leggy)
The plant is likely not getting enough light. Move it closer to a brighter light source, though avoid direct sun.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Placement: Choose a spot with bright, indirect light. A windowsill with a sheer curtain is perfect.
Watering: Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Use the 'soak and dry' method, ensuring no water is left standing in the saucer.
Soil & Potting: Keep it in a well-draining potting mix. The provided 12cm pot is sufficient for the first year of growth.
Temperature: Maintain room temperatures between 18°C and 25°C. Avoid placing near drafty doors or air conditioning vents.
Maintenance: Trim overly long stems if the plant becomes unbalanced, and gently wipe leaves with a soft cloth to remove dust.
