Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, and ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.
-
Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. If the air is dry, consider misting the plant or using a humidifier.
