Watering:
Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering. Water thoroughly, ensuring excess moisture drains away to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months when growth slows.

Fertilizer:
Feed with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (Spring and Summer). Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can cause salt buildup in the soil. Reduce feeding in Fall and Winter.

Lighting:
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its rich, dark colouring. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow more slowly. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves.

Temperature:
Thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect from cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, and prolonged exposure to temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

Humidity:
Enjoys moderate to high humidity. If the air is dry, increase humidity by misting occasionally, placing the plant near a pebble tray, or using a humidifier to maintain optimal moisture levels.
