Care tips
Watering
Water about once a week. Let the top of the soil dry first. Keep it lightly moist in summer and never soggy.
Light
It likes bright, indirect light. The holes in the leaves grow better with more light. Direct sun can burn the leaves.
Feeding and repotting
Feed every 4 weeks in spring and summer. Repot when roots fill the pot. A moss pole lets it climb and grow bigger leaves.
Watch out for
Brown crisp edges mean dry air. Spider mites like dry air too, so check the leaf undersides. Wipe leaves now and then.
