got this plant today and it wondered if anyone has any tips for its care? i work from my office only 2 days a week so i’m trying to decide if i can leave it here in the north facing window or if i should bring it home with me because it will need better light / more frequent watering schedule? i also plan on repotting it in a ceramic pot with tropical soil. TIA 🫶🏻

I’ve not had one of these beautiful plants but the information on it sounds like you’ve made a good choice as long as you aren’t out of the office for more than 5 consecutive days for watering purposes. If you are concerned about light use the meter in this app to give you that information. I’d try it. You can always take it home if it starts to suffer. Good luck!

Humidity!!! and know they are drama queens- turn pathetic fast but bounce back quickly when you address the reason. I couldn’t keep mine happy until I put it in a terrarium (open top) with moist sphagnum moss under the pot.
