How to Care for the Plant

Water
Allow the top half of the soil to dry out before watering. Overwatering will cause damage to the plant. A good technique is to water from the bottom rather than directly onto the plant. Water less in winter.
Fertilizer
Does not require fertilizer, gets its nutrients from the planting media
Sunlight
Bright, in-direct light. A west or east facing window is idea but be aware direct sunlight will burn leaves.

Well-draining potting soil with perlite and peat moss
Temperature
Warm, keep above 16°C all year. Anything lower and damage to leaves will occur.
