Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Be careful not to overwater, as the roots can rot. Ensure the pot has good drainage.
Temperature: Ideal temperature range is 60-75°F (15-24°C); avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as it is sensitive to cold drafts.
Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity but can adapt to average indoor humidity levels. Misting the leaves can help during dry seasons.
Soil: Prefers well-draining, loamy soil with good aeration. A mix of potting soil and perlite works well.
Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
Pruning: Prune to control size and remove any leggy or damaged growth. Cutting back the top will encourage bushier growth.
Pests: Generally pest-resistant but can occasionally attract spider mites or scale insects. Wipe leaves regularly and treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.
Propagation: Propagate by stem cuttings. Place the cuttings in water or well-draining soil to root.
Growth: Can grow up to 6-10 feet (1.8-3 meters) indoors, and even taller outdoors in tropical climates. Growth is typically slow to moderate.
