Plant Care

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates medium light. Avoid harsh direct sunlight.

Water Requirements: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain completely.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.

Soil: Use a well-draining, all-purpose houseplant potting mix.

Temperature: Prefers temperatures around 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below about 50°F.

Pet Safety: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.

Humidity: Average household humidity is suitable. Moderate humidity can help keep the foliage healthy.

Growth Habit: An upright tropical plant with woody cane stems and long, arching green leaves, often featuring a lighter yellow-green stripe through the center.
