Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.Light Prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate low light conditions, the foliage’s vibrant red color will be more pronounced in brighter light. Keep the plant away from air conditioning vents, heaters, and windows that may have cold drafts.SoilUse a well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for houseplants or a blend of peat, perlite, and potting soil works well.WateringKeep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage. The plant thrives in high humidity. If your home is dry, especially in winter, consider using a humidity tray or misting the plant regularly. Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows.PruningPrune yellowing or dead leaves to keep the plant healthy and to encourage new growth. Regular pruning helps maintain the plant’s shape and appearance. Repot every 2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Choose a pot that is 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the current pot. This will give the roots more room to grow.Maintenance level Low, however, gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep the foliage looking its best.Air purifying qualities Yes *Note: Since these are live plants, the actual size and condition of the plant may slightly differ from what is shown in the picture, depending on the growth stage of the plant at the time of your order. However, we make the best effort to closely match the plant that is delivered to you, with the plant as shown in the website display, after considering delivery and perishability constraints while in transit. The plant comes in a 4 inch black grow pot. Decorative planters shown in the picture gallery are for representation purpose only and can be purchased separately from the website. Lastly, we recommend using an appropriate potting mix required for your plant, if you are considering repotting your plant at any time after having received it. Good ReadsOur Blogs
