Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates

Sunlight and Climate Needs

• Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light when kept indoors. Outdoors, it thrives in partial shade or morning sun. Direct harsh afternoon sun should be avoided to prevent leaf scorch.
• Climate: A tropical plant that prefers warm, humid conditions and is adaptable to most non-frost Indian climates.

Watering and Soil

• Soil: Plant in well-draining, rich potting mix or garden soil.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top soil layer (about one inch) to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduced watering is necessary during the cooler, non-growing months.
