Light
Indirect light. Direct summer sun scorches the leaves; weak winter sun is welcome.
Watering
Before watering, check the soil with your finger: it should be partly dry. Empty the saucer, and water less in winter. Rain or filtered water is better: fluoride browns the leaf tips.
Air
Warm, 18–30 °C. Likes humid air; a humidifier helps in winter.
