LIGHT
Bright, indirect light is preferred but they can tolerate medium indirect as well as some gentle direct sun. Avoid harsh direct mid-day light. Morning direct light or late afternoon direct light is best to avoid burning the leaves.
WATER
Allow the soil to almost dry out before watering, but do not allow for the plant to become bone dry. Once dry, soak the soil so water runs through the bottom of the pot. Wait for it to drain before returning it to its bright spot in the window. Make sure you are using well-draining soil.
TIPS
- Sensitive to over-watering (watering too often).
- Rotate often to ensure even growth.
TOXICITY
Toxic to pets and people. As with all plants, use caution around children or pets.
