- Watering
- Watering, Liquid fertilizer
- Light & Placement
- Shade tolerant and adaptable, from bright indirect light to partial shade. Avoid direct sun.
- Watering
- Water once the surface dries and keep the soil slightly moist. Higher humidity is best; mist if the leaf tips start browning from dry air.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Minimum temperature is 13°C, with moderate cold tolerance. Keep it indoors above 13°C in winter.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use a mix that drains yet holds moisture, and repot one size up once roots fill the pot.
- Propagation
- Propagate by cuttings or division. Splitting a rootbound clump at repotting time is an easy way to get more plants.
