Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
-
Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's better to err on the side of underwatering.
-
Soil: Prefers well-draining soil, such as a mix designed for houseplants or succulents.
-
Humidity: Does well in average indoor humidity but appreciates occasional misting if the air is particularly dry.
-
Temperature: Keep it in a warm environment, ideally between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F
