CARE:
- Keep in a bright spot-this plant can tolerate several hours of direct light daily
- It does best in a moderate-high humidity setting
- Can tolerate drought, but it's best to water when the first 1/3 of the soil is dry
- You can maintain slightly moist soil during the summer months when it's a heavy drinker
- When repotting, select well-draining soil and a pot with drainage holes, otherwise there is a high risk of root rot.
