How to Care for the Plant

Water
As a guide, you might expect to water thoroughly once every 7-10 days in winter, but be watering almost every day in the summer months. The best way to decide whether your plant is ready for a drink, is if the top of the soil is dry and the pot is beginning to feel light.
Pruning
By removing overgrown foliage, you will improve airflow to the plant, and light will be better able to penetrate all portions of the plant. This actually leads to a fuller and healthier looking houseplant.
Fertilizer
Liquid fertilizers are applied more frequently, bi-weekly or monthly, for example. Granular products are used less frequently, perhaps once every month or two. Slow-release houseplant fertilizers break down slowly and release their nutrients in small amounts, over a longer period of time. A single application of most of these products lasts for three to four months.
