  • Temperature: It prefers moderate temperatures and does not tolerate extreme cold or cold draughts.
  • Fertilisation: Apply a dilute liquid fertiliser every 2-4 weeks during spring and summer to encourage healthy growth.
  • Cleaning: Regularly dust the leaves with a damp cloth to maintain its photosynthetic capacity.

Signs of weakness
