☀️ Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
💧 Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot.
🌧️ Humidity: Enjoys high humidity. Mist regularly, use a humidifier, or place the plant in a naturally humid environment like a bathroom.
🌡️ Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18°C and 27°C. Protect from drafts and avoid exposure to temperatures below 13°C.
💊 Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.
✂️ Pruning and Support: Regular pruning can encourage fuller growth and maintain the desired shape. Trim away any yellow or damaged leaves. Provide a moss pole or trellis for the plant to climb, which encourages larger leaf growth.
🪲 Pest Control: Inspect regularly for pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
🪴 Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Spring is the best time for repotting.
