Watering:

To keep this plant happy, make sure you don’t let its soil dry out. Check it at least once a week and water it when the top two inches of soil feel dry. It will also benefit from feeding once a month in spring and summer. If you can try using mineral water this will prevent crispy edges. These guys also enjoy a misting.

Lighting: 

It’ll be fine in fairly low light, but you’ll see more colourful growth if you give it lots of indirect light.
