Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near an east-facing window or a few feet away from a south-facing window will provide the necessary brightness without the risk of leaf scorch.
Water only when the top inch or two of the soil medium feels dry to the touch. Because it prefers moderate moisture, avoid letting it sit in standing water, which can lead to root rot.
No, it is best to let the plant acclimate to your home's environment for at least one week before repotting. This helps reduce transplant shock and allows the plant to adjust to its new light and temperature conditions.
No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept on a high shelf or in a room that your cats or dogs cannot access.
This plant prefers consistent indoor temperatures between 65-85°F. Keep it away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, or direct heat sources to ensure it stays healthy.
