Sun: Indirect

These plants flourish in bright light but can also tolerate medium light conditions. An ideal spot with medium light in your home would be midway between a window and the center of a room. Keep in mind that plant growth is influenced by the amount of light they receive.

Light: Medium - Bright

Avoid placing them where they receive direct sunlight, but early morning or late evening sun is acceptable. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is optimal, as most homes provide indirect sunlight. The ideal location is where they're shielded from direct sun for most of the day but still receive bright, indirect light.

Water: When half dry

Water your plants when the top half of the soil feels dry to the touch, typically around once a week in an average indoor setting. However, factors such as season, environment, and light exposure can influence watering frequency. To avoid overwatering, always err on the side of underwatering and periodically check the soil moisture before watering again. Keep in mind that plants may require more frequent watering in brighter light and less frequent watering in lower light conditions.

Humidity: High

To thrive, these plants thrive in high humidity environments, so aim to mist them daily or as frequently as feasible. Another option is to place them near a humidifier. While they can survive in lower humidity conditions, inadequate moisture may lead to dry, crispy, or yellow-edged leaves.

Pet Friendly: Caution

While generally safe for households, it's important to note that this plant is moderately toxic if ingested by pets. As a precaution, it's best to keep it out of reach to prevent any adverse reactions. However, if your pet doesn't typically consume plants, this shouldn't be a concern for your home.

Pro Tip

During the winter dormancy period when the plant's growth slows and leaf loss may occur, relocate it to a warm and well-lit area. Reduce watering until spring when growth resumes. If the plant has outgrown its current pot and become root-bound, consider repotting it in the spring into a container one size larger.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
