• Humidity: High humidity is essential for this tropical plant. Mist regularly or place a humidifier nearby to maintain the right moisture levels. A pebble tray can also help increase humidity.
• Maintenance: Wipe the leaves occasionally to keep them free from dust and maintain their striking appearance. Prune any yellowing or damaged leaves to encourage fresh growth.
