- 🌞 Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates medium light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorching.
- 💧 Watering: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry, roughly every 10–14 days, ensuring good drainage to avoid root rot.
- 🌡️ Temperature: Prefers 15–25°C, common in South African indoor climates. Protect from cold drafts below 10°C.
- 🌱 Feeding: Apply a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser (e.g., 5:1:4) every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Avoid fertilising in autumn and winter.
- 🐾 Pet Friendly? ✅ Non-toxic to cats, dogs, and children, making it a safe choice for pet-friendly homes.
- 🛠️ Care: Overwatering is a frequent mistake; use well-draining soil and pots with drainage holes to prevent soggy roots. Yellowing leaves or drooping may indicate overwatering or insufficient light—adjust watering and move to a brighter spot. Gently wipe round leaves with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and vibrant.
