Care:
-
Light: Prefers indirect light. The ideal position is at a window that receives filtered or indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, while too little light can reduce the shine of the leaves.
-
Watering: Watering must be moderate. It is important to let the soil dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Check the first few centimeters of soil with your finger; if they are dry, it is time to water them.
-
Humidity: This plant benefits from a moderate level of humidity. In very dry environments, occasionally spray the foliage or use a humidifier.
-
Temperature: It develops best in temperatures between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. Avoid places with sudden temperature changes.
-
Fertilization: Fertilize the plant once a month during the period of active growth (spring-summer) with a diluted fertilizer for indoor plants.
-
Repotting: Repotting is done as needed, usually every 1-2 years, when the plant becomes too big for the current pot. Use a well-drained soil, preferably a mix for indoor plants.
Height with pots included approx. 15 cm
