Thrives in bright, indirect light, but adapts well to moderate light levels. Consistent brightness encourages dense foliage and steady growth. Avoid deep shade, which can cause leaf drop, and harsh direct sunlight, which may scorch the tender leaves.
Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top 35 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to yellowing leaves or root rot, while prolonged dryness may cause leaf drop. In winter, reduce watering frequency slightly.
Temperature: Prefers warmth between 2028 C; avoid temperatures below 15 C and cold draughts.
Humidity: Tolerates normal indoor humidity (4060%) but thrives with moderate levels. Mist occasionally or group with other plants to maintain a stable microclimate, especially in heated rooms.
Use a well-draining, fertile potting mix, such as compost combined with perlite and fine bark. This ensures aeration and moisture balance. Repot every 23 years in spring to refresh the substrate and allow for root development. Choose a sturdy pot to support its upright growth and graceful canopy.
Feed every 46 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertiliser designed for foliage plants. Avoid over-fertilising, which can damage roots and cause leaf spotting. Suspend feeding in autumn and winter when growth slows.
Prune lightly to maintain shape and manage size. Trim back long or crossing branches to encourage a fuller canopy. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves as needed. Wipe foliage regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and highlight its natural gloss. Rotate periodically for even growth and light exposure.
