Where to put it
A bright table, desk or windowsill. It is the one plant in the collection that enjoys a few hours of gentle morning sun.
Light
Bright light with some direct morning sun. In dim rooms it stretches and drops leaves.
Watering
Let the soil dry out completely, then water lightly. Every two to three weeks is usually enough. The leaves store water.
Feeding
Feed two or three times across spring and summer.
If something looks wrong
- Wrinkled leaves. Time to water.
- Soft, falling leaves. Too much water. Let it dry out fully.
- Long, thin growth. Not enough light. Move it to a brighter spot.
