How to care for it
Light
It prefers bright, indirect light: a well-lit spot protected from direct sunlight, which can damage the leaves.
Water
Water thoroughly and allow the soil to dry out between waterings: approximately every 7 days in summer and every 14 days in winter. To know when it is time, insert a finger into the substrate: if it is dry, you can water.
Temperature and humidity
The ideal temperature is between 18 and 25 °C; do not let it fall below 10 °C. Ideal humidity is moderate, between 40% and 60%.
Fertilizer, soil and repotting
In spring and summer, use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 30 days. The soil must be well drained: a mix of universal potting soil, sand and perlite works well. Repot when the roots begin to take up too much space in the pot, generally every 2-3 years and preferably in spring.
Stability
Maintain stable conditions and protect the plant from sudden changes in temperature or light to prevent leaf drop.
