Care Instructions:
 
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sun might scorch its leaves, but it can adapt to lower light conditions, though growth might slow.
Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry, ensuring even moisture without letting the plant sit in water to prevent root rot.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix enriched with organic matter. A soil blend designed for indoor plants or one with added perlite works well.
Humidity: Likes humidity but can adapt to typical indoor conditions. Mist the leaves occasionally or place a humidity tray nearby for optimal health.
