plant tips

  • water

    Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Keep soil moist but never soggy — less water in cooler months.

    Thrives in low to medium indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch its leaves — perfect for offices and rooms with limited natural light.

  • zone

    Houseplant.

  • size

    Grows 2–3 ft. tall and 2–2.5 ft. wide — full, lush, and beautifully compact.

care

Golden Bay thrives in warm conditions — keep temperatures above 60°F and away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry and wipe leaves occasionally to keep them looking their best. Remove any yellowing leaves at the base to encourage healthy new growth. Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer for lush, vibrant foliage year-round.
