Care tips
Watering
Water about once a week when the top 3 cm of soil are dry. Keep the watering steady. Never let it sit in water.
Light
Give it a bright spot without harsh direct sun. Keep it in one place. It drops leaves when moved or in drafts.
Feeding and repotting
Feed every 2 weeks in the growing season. Repot every 2 years into a slightly bigger pot. Rotate it for even growth.
Watch out for
Brown spots on the leaves mean overwatering or dry roots. Dust blocks light, so wipe the leaves. Not for holiday absences.
