Pot dimension:  

Ø22cm x H14cm

Overall Plant Height:

35-40cm (Approx.) from the base of the pot

Bright indirect sunlight, dappled light, semi-shade

Water:

Check regularly and water as needed.

Keep the soil evenly moist; never allow it to dry out completely.

Consider using a water filter when watering the plant.

Alternatively, leave water out overnight before watering your plant to avoid brown patches or browning at the leaf tip.

Fertilizer:

Fertilize with diluted foliage fertilizer at least once a month to encourage growth.

Trimming:

Gently trim away dry, brown, or yellowish leaves by using a pair of secateurs.

Trimming allows available nutrients in the soil to be transferred into the new leaves which encourage intentional growth.

Also, trimming allows your plants to retain in a good shape and keep pests, fungal and diseases away.
