Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. It prefers several hours of sunlight each day.
Temperature: This plant prefers temperatures between 65-85°F and can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but should be protected from frost.
Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when watering, but ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Humidity: Can tolerate normal household humidity levels but benefits from occasional misting, especially in dry indoor environments.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and sand.
Fertilization: Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce fertilization in fall and winter.
Pruning: Trim off any dead or yellowing leaves as needed to maintain a neat appearance. Remove spent flowers to encourage new growth.
Propagation: Can be propagated from seeds or division. Division is the preferred method, separating the plant into smaller clumps with healthy roots.
