Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, such as a blend of loam and peat. Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feel dry, avoiding waterlogging which can cause root rot. Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season (spring to summer). Maintain temperatures above 15 °C; protect from drafts and sudden temperature drops. This plant thrives in average household humidity but appreciates occasional misting.
