Care

Planting & Growing
Thrives in rich, well-drained soils. Needs ample humidity; as a houseplant, mist plants often. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. In cooler climates, move containers indoors before threat of frost. Feed with a balanced fertilizer in spring. Prune old or damaged leaves as needed.
