  Keep the soil slightly moist. Water when the surface begins to dry, but avoid overwatering. It does not like soggy roots.

• Humidity :
  Likes good ambient humidity. Perfect for a bright bathroom or in a terrarium.

• Temperature :
  Ideally between 18 and 25°C. Does not tolerate cold (minimum 15°C).

• Ground :
  Light, well-drained potting soil. A tropical plant mix with a little perlite or coconut fiber works well.

• Fertilization :
  Once a month in spring and summer, with a mild fertilizer for green plants.

• General maintenance :
  Pinch back the stems if you want to encourage a denser growth. Remove faded leaves as needed.
