    Sunlight: Prefers indirect sunlight or partial shade. Avoid prolonged direct sun in very hot climates to protect the foliage.

    Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist, avoiding waterlogging. Prefers well-draining soil.

    Humidity: Tolerates moderate humidity levels but should be in a well-ventilated area to prevent fungal issues.

    Repotting: Repot every 3–4 years, preferably in spring, using a well-draining soil mix.
