Product Details

**Light** Thrives in bright, indirect light, but will tolerate some shade. **Water** Keep the soil moist, but ensure good drainage and don't allow to sit in water. Water when the top inch of soil is dry, and reduce watering in winter. **Humidity** Average household humidity is fine for this plant, but make sure it's not too close to a radiator as this will dry it out too much! **Soil** Plant in fast draining, but moisture retentive soil. A mix with added bark or grit would be ideal. Repot every three years or once the plant and roots are crowding the pot. **Food** Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter. **Temperature** Ideal temperature range of 12-26°C; don't let it drop below this in winter. **Pet-safe** No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans. **Sprouts Top Tips** As the plant establishes, it may start to look leggy. To combat this you can prune the topmost leaves which will make the plant bushier- and provide clippings which may be propagated.
