Planting Tips

When repotting, choose a container that is only slightly larger than the plant's current container. Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure that the plant is planted at the same depth as it was in its previous container.

Maintenance

Regularly dust the leaves with a soft cloth to keep them clean and free of debris. Monitor the plant for signs of pests or disease and take action immediately if any issues arise.
