They like well-draining, chunky soil and do well drying out maybe 75%-100% of the way between watering. If planta says to water, pick up the pot and use the weight to judge. If it doesn’t seem really light/dry then snooze it. It’ll do best with bright indirect light (like most houseplants) and can handle a little direct sun. Ideally you’d have it within a few feet of a window and in front of it, like it would be able to look out the window if it could see. When they’re happy they can grow pretty quickly and you’ll likely notice that each successive leaf is larger than the last. ### Plant lover commented on 2024-08-13 thank you --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
