Water & Humidity

Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Loves high humidity (over 60%) mist regularly or place near a humidifier to prevent leaf curling and browning edges.

Soil & Potting

Use a rich, well-draining potting mix with peat or coco coir. Repot annually in spring to refresh nutrients and support healthy root growth.

Growth & Propagation

Slow-growing as a baby plant but will eventually form larger rosettes. Propagate by careful division when mature and well-established.

Seasonal & Special Care

Appreciates consistent warmth (1825C). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes. Clean leaves gently with a damp cloth to support photosynthesis.

Common Issues

Watch for spider mites in dry conditions. Ensure high humidity and avoid letting soil dry out completely to keep leaves lush and healthy.
