Sun: Indirect

They do not need to see the sun directly. But filtered sunlight through glass is fine. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day, like somewhere shady outside or inside behind a window.

Light: Low

They thrive in medium to bright light environment. But also will do well in low light conditions.

Water: Every 1 - 2 weeks

They like the soil to be 50% dry before the next watering. That usually takes about one to two weeks in an average home environment. It may vary depends on your environment and light condition, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water like floppy, droop, or soft leaves.

Humidity: Any

They can live in any average home humidity condition.

Care Tips

Do not mist and avoid water on leaves.
