Care tips

Allow the top 4–5 cm of soil to dry out between waterings, and reduce watering during the winter. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and improve photosynthesis. Feed monthly during the growing season with a general-purpose houseplant fertiliser.
