Know before you buy

Yes, it is considered an excellent choice for beginners. It is highly adaptable to various indoor conditions and is not overly demanding regarding light or humidity.
It thrives best in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, its growth may slow down and the leaves might lose some of their vibrant, curly definition.
You should water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. Because it is not drought-tolerant, it prefers consistent moisture, but be careful not to let it sit in standing water, which can lead to root rot.
