Care Tips

🌞 Light: Prefers bright indirect light but adapts to lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

🌡 Temperature: Ideal range is 18°C to 24°C. Keep away from cold drafts.
🌱 Soil: A well-draining mix of coco coir, coco chips, and perlite is recommended.
🪴 Support: Naturally grows upright and does not require support.
🌿 Fertiliser: Controlled-release fertiliser is included in the potting mix. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly during the growing season.
🚫 Toxicity: Toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of animals.
