Care tips
Watering
Water only every 2 to 3 weeks. Let the soil dry in the top few cm. It forgives a missed watering.
Light
It thrives in shade and low light. Direct sun burns the leaves.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once or twice a year, in spring and summer. Repot rarely, only when the pot is full. It dislikes root disturbance.
Watch out for
Wet soil causes root rot. Brown patches on the leaves mean sunburn. Growth is slow, so be patient.
