Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during the cooler, dormant months of winter, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.
Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or yellowing leaves, and encourage bushier growth. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make cuts just above a leaf node.
Pinching back the tips of new growth can also promote a more compact and full plant.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings with at least two nodes, remove lower leaves, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.
Plant in well-draining potting mix or place in water until roots develop, then transplant into soil.
Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for aroids or houseplants.
Repot in spring for best results.
