Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry.

Mist leaves regularly or use a humidifier if the air is dry.

Grouping plants together also helps maintain higher humidity.

Feed monthly during active growth (spring to early autumn) with a balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) diluted to half strength.
-
Stop feeding during winter when growth slows.
🪴 Repotting

Repot every 2–3 years or when roots outgrow the pot.

Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage.

Refresh the potting mix to maintain aeration and nutrients.

Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them glossy.
