- Temperature: Maintain a consistent temperature between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Avoid placing the plant in drafty areas or near heating or cooling vents.
- Humidity: This plant thrives in higher humidity levels. Regularly mist the leaves or use a humidity tray to provide adequate moisture. In drier climates, a humidifier can be beneficial.
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water less frequently during the winter months when growth slows down.
- Soil: Use well-draining potting mix with a mix of peat moss, perlite, and organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal.

- Pruning: Prune your plant to maintain its shape and remove any dead or yellowing leaves. This encourages new growth and helps maintain its compact form.
- Pests: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. If you notice any infestations, treat them promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
