No, this plant is not pet-friendly. Certain plants can be toxic to animals, potentially causing a range of physical symptoms, from discomfort to death, if consumed. While some animals show little interest in houseplants, others may be tempted to bite, chew, and ingest them. Call your vet immediately if your pet eats a poisonous plant or is showing any signs of toxicity.

This plant thrives in the following light condition(s):

BRIGHT LIGHT: Bright light is needed for this plant to stay healthy. Plants that are exposed to "bright light" or "full sun" receive direct sunlight without any obstacles, such as curtains, blinds, tall trees, or buildings that create shade. This sort of exposure commonly happens when a plant is positioned in a sunny window, enabling it to receive the most intense and direct indoor light.

If the soil at the top feels dry, water once per week. It's important to adjust the watering frequency based on the plant's location and temperature variations to ensure it gets the right amount of watering, which might change during the warm and cold seasons.

Overwintered tropical plants generally thrive in temperatures similar to those preferred by humans. They typically do well in daytime temperatures ranging from 70 to 80ºF (21 to 27ºC) and nighttime temperatures between 55 and 65ºF (13 to 18ºC).

The placement of plants is crucial for creating the right atmosphere and look in our space. When situating plants in your home or office, it’s important to think about how extreme temperatures and surroundings, especially during summer and winter, can affect them. For example, cold drafts and direct sunlight can harm a plant’s leaves and overall health, potentially causing them to die. Being close to heaters and air conditioning units can also cause damage. Therefore, it’s important to carefully consider where you place your plants. Avoid putting them near heaters, air conditioning units, or in areas with cold drafts from windows or doors, as these elements can significantly affect the well-being and lifespan of your plants.

This plant does not require any misting.

Use a soft brush or dry cloth to dust plant leaves every three weeks.
