care

This plant loves high, bright, indirect light to medium light. The plant can get rather tall and wide, depending on the variety, so select a place that it can grow happily.  Rotate the plant every month so the entire plant can get enough light all around it.  If not rotated, the plant will start to lean and grow unevenly, favoring the area of most light exposure. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch and feed with a fertilizer for houseplants.
