A few tips for keeping your plant happy:

• Settling In: Unpack and unwind! Let your new plant settle in for 24-48 hours before repotting. Allowing it to acclimate will help it thrive in its new home.
• Lighting: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
• Soil: Plant in a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Appreciates high humidity, so consider using a humidifier or pebble tray.
