Water at least twice a week during the growing season and once a week during winter, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the leaves.
Use a humidifier or place the plant on a pebble tray with water. Misting the leaves can also help.
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a mix of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.
Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
Propagate by taking stem cuttings with at least one leaf and node. Place the cuttings in water or directly in soil.
Yellowing leaves (overwatering or too much sun), brown leaf tips (low humidity), and pests are common issues.
Reduce watering frequency or check for root rot. Ensure the plant is not receiving too much direct sunlight.
Increase humidity around the plant. Consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water.
Inspect the plant regularly for pests. Treat any infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Ensure the plant is receiving enough light and nutrients. Repot the plant if it has become root-bound.
