Care

• Light: this plant loves indirect light, although it adapts without major problems to environments with little light, which makes it ideal for any type of environment.

• Watering: watering should be moderate, when the substrate is practically dry

• Humidity: this plant likes humidity. We recommend spraying it 2 or 3 times a week.

• Fertiliser: to keep it beautiful and lush, fertilise it regularly. Once a fortnight in summer and monthly in winter.
