Care essentials
Light
Provide bright indirect light indoors; a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal. In NE Florida, container plants can be moved outdoors to a shaded or east-facing patio during warm months — protect from harsh direct sun which scorches leaves.
Water
Water when the top 2–3 inches of soil dry out; keep consistently moist but never waterlogged. Yellow leaves indicate overwatering. NE Florida's warmth and humidity are beneficial; reduce watering slightly in winter.
Soil & Fertilizer
Use a light, fast-draining potting mix amended with perlite. Fertilize monthly spring through early fall with a balanced organic fertilizer; cease fertilizing in winter. Repot every 2–3 years as needed.
