Care guide

  • Light: Bright indirect light supports compact growth. Avoid harsh afternoon sun, and rotate the pot occasionally for even growth.
  • Water: Allow the upper inch or two of soil to dry before watering thoroughly; let the nursery pot drain fully. Reduce watering when growth slows and never leave it standing in water.
  • Soil: Use a loose, well-draining indoor potting mix with perlite in a container with drainage holes. Ready to repot? Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately. Add perlite as needed to keep the mix loose and well-draining.
  • Humidity and temperature: Average household humidity is generally suitable. Keep warm and away from cold drafts and drying vents.
  • Feeding: During active spring and summer growth, use a balanced slow-release houseplant fertilizer according to its label directions, adjusting the amount for the small 3.5-inch pot. Ready to feed? Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Pause or reduce feeding in winter, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
  • Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves by snipping their stems near the main stem with clean scissors. Rotate regularly rather than cutting healthy leaves to correct leaning.
  • Repotting: Check the roots every 1–2 years. If crowded, move up one pot size with fresh draining mix, keeping the main stem at its previous soil depth.
  • Propagation: If the plant produces rooted offsets, gently separate one with its roots and pot it in a small draining container. Unrooted offsets can be rooted in water or moist mix before potting; do not assume every plant has pups.

Pet safety
