• Prefers bright, indirect light.

• Tolerates medium light but growth will be slower and colors less vibrant.

• Avoid direct sun, which can scorch its leaves.

💧 Water

• Keep the soil lightly moist—not soggy.

• Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.

• Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.

• Always use a pot with drainage holes to prevent root rot.

• Pause feeding in fall and winter.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Wipe leaves regularly to keep them glossy and pest-free.

• Trim yellow or damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth.

• Can be staked or given a moss pole if it starts climbing.

🪴 Repotting

• Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot.

• Choose a container 1–2 inches larger in diameter.

🐛 Common Issues

• Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
