Safe for cats and dogs. Any plant can still upset a pet’s stomach if they eat a lot, so keep it out of reach.
Light
Bright, indirect light. No direct sun.
Water
Keep it slightly moist
Temperature
18-28°C, not below 15°C

Once a month in spring and summer, with a weak fertilizer
Do this when you get home
- Put it somewhere bright, out of the sun. Direct sun scorches the leaves.
- Keep the soil just slightly moist
Day to day
- It really likes humid air. Mist every day. In a northern winter, a humidifier is best.
- Best with tap water that's sat out a day. Chlorine yellows the tips.
- At night the leaves stand up and fold. By day they open. That's a normal "sleep movement."
Common questions
The leaf edges are brown and curling?
Dry air is the main reason. Mist more, add humidity, and keep it away from the air conditioner and the heater.
