🌞 Light & Placement

• Bright, indirect light is ideal—protected east or north-facing windows work well.

💧 Water & Humidity

• Keep evenly moist—allow the top 2 cm of soil to dry before watering again.
• Thrives in 60–80 % humidity—great in kitchens, bathrooms, or near humidifiers.
• Misting leaves occasionally helps highlight leaf texture and keeps it fresh.

🪴 Soil & Potting

• Repot every 1–2 years in spring, giving roots room to grow and refreshing nutrition.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

• Contains calcium oxalate crystals—keep it away from pets and children to avoid irritation.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

• Moderate growth rate—produces a few new leaves each season with proper care.
• Easily propagated via division during repotting; pups form at the plant’s base.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

• Spring & summer: active growth—maintain watering and feed monthly.
• Autumn & winter: slower growth—reduce watering and pause fertiliser.
• Wipe leaves monthly to show off their texture and vivid petiole color.

🐛 Common Issues
