Growing Conditions and Care Guide

• Light — Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates low light conditions. Equally happy in a bedroom, living room or office setting.
  
  
• Watering — Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering is the most common mistake; when in doubt, wait an extra day.
  
  
• Temperature — Prefers 16–24 °C. Keep away from cold draughts and radiators.
  
  
• Humidity — Average household humidity is fine. Mist the leaves occasionally in very dry rooms.
  
  
• Feeding — Apply a balanced liquid houseplant feed once a month during spring and summer. No feeding required in winter.
  
  
• Repotting — Repot every 2–3 years in spring using a well-draining houseplant compost.
