Care information

Origin: Native to Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia and the Philippines.

Light: Give me bright, indirect light. I thrive in filtered sunlight or partial shade, but avoid direct sun, which can scorch my leaves.

Temperature: Keep me warm and humid please!

Humidity: I love humidity!

Watering: Keep my soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Soil: Plant me in a well-draining, organic-rich potting mix.

Fertilization: Feed me with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

Pruning: Prune me sparingly to maintain my shape and remove any dead or diseased parts. Trim long stems to encourage bushier growth.

Propagation: I can be propagated from stem cuttings. Take a cutting from a healthy stem, remove the lower leaves, and plant it in moist potting mix.

Pests/Diseases: Watch out for pests like aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap.
