Don't let it sit in water, and ease off in winter. Humidity: Enjoys higher humidity — dry air can brown the leaf edges, so a pebble tray or humidifier helps. Temperature: Typical room temperatures (about 65–80°F). Keep it away from cold drafts and hot, dry vents. Soil: A good, well-draining potting mix in a pot with a drainage hole. Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a balanced houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer; pause in winter. Good to know: Keep it bright, warm, and evenly moist; older plants may flower and set small "cherries."
