Care: Overwatering is a common mistake, leading to root rot; always ensure proper drainage. Brown leaf edges often indicate low humidity—mist leaves weekly or place near a humidifier. Yellowing leaves may signal too much direct sunlight; move to a spot with indirect light. Dust on large leaves can block light absorption; gently wipe with a damp cloth. Trim damaged leaves at the base to encourage new growth.
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorching.
Watering: Water every 1–2 weeks when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to avoid waterlogging.
Temperature: Prefers 18–27°C, ideal for South African indoor environments. Keep away from cold drafts below 15°C.
Feeding: Apply a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser (e.g., 5:1:4) monthly during spring and summer. Reduce to every 6–8 weeks in autumn and winter.
