Fuss Factor*: 1

Light: Will thrive in everything from low to bright, indirect light

Watering Frequency: Allow soil to dry out completely before rewatering

Soil: No special requirements

Humidity: Average home humidity

Pests: Generally pest tolerant, but can be affected by mealy bugs or spider mites. If you see evidence of these, wipe leaves every so often to remove dust buildup that attracts pests

Cautions:

• Avoid harsh direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can burn the leaves
• Overwatering can lead to fungal issues and root rot. If leaves develop brown spots and feel soft or mushy to the touch, excess watering is usually the cause
• Keep out of reach of pets and children, as these are toxic if ingested

Zones: Indoor Use or Outdoors in warmer, dry zones 10b-11
