• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some morning sun but avoid harsh direct sunlight which can scorch the large leaves and cause yellowing.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures. Ideal range between 18-26°C (65-79°F) year-round. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity, ideally between 50-70%. Regular misting or humidity trays will promote healthy growth and prevent leaf browning at the edges.
• Watering: Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Maintain consistent moisture during growing season but ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter months.
• Maintenance: As a baby plant, repot according to growth until it reaches medium size. Provide adequate water, light, and fertilizer, but use less than for adult plants to avoid damaging development.
