Plant Details

Growing Guide

Position

Place in bright, indirect light for the strongest growth, although this plant also performs well in lower light conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to intense direct sunlight through glass, particularly during the hottest part of summer.

Watering

Allow the compost to dry thoroughly between waterings. Water deeply, allowing excess water to drain away completely before returning the plant to its display position. Reduce watering significantly during autumn and winter.

Compost

Grow in a free-draining cactus or houseplant compost using a pot with drainage holes. Avoid heavy, moisture-retentive composts that remain wet for long periods.

Temperature and Indoor Care

Maintain temperatures between 18–27°C where possible and protect from frost, cold draughts and temperatures below 10°C. Average household humidity is perfectly adequate, and misting is unnecessary.

Routine Care

Wipe the leaves occasionally with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Feed lightly during spring and summer using a balanced houseplant fertiliser. Repot only when the root system has filled the container.

Perfect For

• Contemporary interiors.
• Home offices.
• Desks and shelving.
• Apartments and smaller living spaces.
• Low-maintenance houseplant collections.
