Care tips
Watering
Water about once a week and let the top soil dry slightly in between. Empty any water left in the saucer.
Light
It copes with little light, so a shady corner works. Strong direct sun burns the leaves.
Feeding and repotting
Feed monthly in spring and summer. It grows slowly and likes a snug pot, so repot only every two to three years.
Watch out for
Brown tips point to dry air or too much fertiliser. Wipe the leaves now and then to keep spider mites away.
