Care at a glance

Water: Water thoroughly when the top inch (2.5 cm) of soil feels dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water to prevent root rot.
Light: Provide bright, indirect light; direct sunlight can scorch its leaves. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but growth will be slower.
Humidity: Prefers average to high humidity, around 60-70%.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested, causing oral irritation and digestive upset.
Propagation: Easily propagated by stem cuttings placed in water or moist soil; ensure each cutting has at least one node. Roots typically form within a few weeks.
