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.

Lovely little plant beautifully packaged. Arrived in perfect condition at a great price. Thank you so much :)
I bought a 'medium' and what arrived was a very generously sized plant which I was very happy with . Plant was in good condition, and was very carefully wrapped for shipping.
What a treat—a box full of surprise plants, including two I haven't grown before. All except one of the five received were far from wonky really, and I hope the struggler will catch up with the others with a bit of tlc! It's a great way to shop for indoor plants and loads of fun unpacking. The handwritten note is a brilliant guide on what they each need. I definitely recommend it, and I will likely be back to try the bigger version!!
Very happy! Exactly as ordered.
