care

Place in a warm, bright spot with indirect light and keep away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents. Water when the top of the soil starts to dry out and add diluted fertilizer to every watering during spring and summer. Prune lightly to keep the leafy canopy full and shaped — never cut back to the grafting point or prune the thick trunk. Mist leaves occasionally to boost humidity and wipe them with a damp cloth to keep them looking glossy and sharp.
