Temperature and Humidity: This plant prefers a warm environment with moderate humidity. Avoid placing it in areas with cold drafts or near air conditioning vents, as it is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
Soil: Use well-draining soil to ensure the roots don't sit in water, which can lead to root rot. A mix designed for bonsai or a combination of peat, perlite, and sand works well.
