This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered only when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot. High humidity is appreciated but not essential. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring to summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. It's generally pest-resistant.
