Care at a glance
- Water
- Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain completely. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
- Light
- Provide bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch leaves, while too little light will cause leggy growth.
- Humidity
- Prefers average to high humidity, around 40-60%.
- Temperature
- Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
- Soil
- Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for succulents or aroid plants.
- Fertilizer
- Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Toxicity
- Non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for most homes.
- Propagation
- Easily propagated by stem or leaf cuttings. Simply place cuttings in water or moist potting mix until roots develop.
