Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
No, it is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep it out of reach of children and animals.
Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for houseplants works well.
You can propagate it through stem cuttings. Allow the cutting to callus before planting it in soil.
Common pests include spider mites, mealybugs, and scale. Inspect regularly and treat infestations promptly.
Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
Reduce watering, ensure the plant is not sitting in water, and check for root rot.
Increase humidity around the plant and ensure it's not exposed to drafts.
Check soil moisture; underwatering or overwatering can cause drooping. Adjust watering accordingly.
Inspect the plant regularly for pests. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil, as needed.
