Plant Care
Light Requirements: Provide bright, filtered or indirect light. Several hours of gentle sunlight can be beneficial, but avoid harsh afternoon sun.
Water Requirements: Allow the top 2–3 inches of soil to dry slightly before watering. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain completely.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer every 4 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.
Soil: Use a well-draining houseplant mix with good aeration and organic matter.
Temperature: Prefers temperatures around 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Pet Safety: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.
Humidity: Moderate household humidity is generally suitable.
Growth Habit: A tall, upright evergreen indoor tree with dense, glossy foliage. Regular pruning can help maintain its shape and size.
