Care guide
- Light: Provide bright filtered or indirect light. Gentle morning sun may suit an acclimated plant, but avoid sudden exposure to harsh midday sun. Rotate occasionally for even growth.
- Water: Water thoroughly when the upper 1–2 inches of potting mix dry, then let excess drain. Avoid waterlogged roots; reduce frequency in cooler, dimmer months.
- Soil: Use a loose, well-draining indoor mix with perlite or fine bark in a container with drainage holes. Ready to repot? Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately.
- Humidity and temperature: Average to moderate household humidity is suitable. Keep warm, away from cold drafts and drying vents; avoid abrupt changes in placement.
- Feeding: During active spring and summer growth, use a balanced slow-release houseplant fertilizer according to its label directions. Ready to feed? Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents for steady nutrition for potted houseplants, sold separately. Reduce or pause feeding in winter, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
- Pruning: Remove damaged leaves with clean scissors and prune stems just above a node to manage height and encourage branching. Avoid contact with the milky sap.
- Repotting: Check roots every 1–2 years. If crowded, move up one pot size with fresh draining mix, keeping the original planting depth.
- Propagation: Root a healthy stem cutting with at least one node in a warm, humid place with bright indirect light and lightly moist propagation mix. A leaf without a node will not develop into a new plant.
