Watering:
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage, as this plant dislikes sitting in water. Use room-temperature water and avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering slightly in Winter when growth slows.

Fertilizer:
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (Spring and Summer) to promote lush foliage and blooming. Use a diluted solution to prevent nutrient buildup. Reduce feeding in Fall and Winter.

Lighting:
Thrives in bright, indirect light. A few hours of gentle morning sun can encourage flowering, but avoid harsh afternoon sun, which may scorch the leaves. In low light, growth may slow, and flowering may be reduced.

Temperature:
Prefers warm temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and sudden temperature fluctuations, as these can stress the plant.

Humidity:
Enjoys moderate to high humidity. If your home is dry, mist the plant occasionally, place it near a humidity tray, or use a humidifier to keep its foliage healthy and vibrant.
