Care guide
- Light: Give bright indirect or filtered light to maintain its vivid color. It can tolerate somewhat lower light but may grow more slowly; avoid prolonged harsh direct sun.
- Water: Let the upper half of the potting mix dry before watering thoroughly, then let excess drain. Avoid consistently soggy roots and reduce watering in winter.
- Soil: Use a loose, well-draining indoor potting mix with perlite in a pot 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 usually suitable. Keep warm and away from cold drafts and hot drying vents.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active spring and summer growth with a balanced slow-release houseplant fertilizer according to its label directions. Ready to feed? Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Reduce or pause feeding in winter, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
- Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves with clean scissors. If a cane grows too tall, cut it back above a node to encourage new shoots; rotate the pot for even growth.
- Repotting: Check roots every 1–2 years. If crowded, move up one pot size in fresh draining mix and keep the original planting depth.
- Propagation: Stem cane sections with nodes can root in warm, lightly moist propagation mix or water in bright indirect light. Pot them once roots and new growth are established.
