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. A windowsill is fine.
Water
Water from the bottom. Don't wet the leaves.
Temperature
18-26°C, not below 15°C

Do this when you get home
- Put it by a bright window, out of direct sun
- Best to water from the bottom, or along the rim. Drops on the fuzzy leaves leave spots.
Day to day
- Use room-temperature water. Cold water on the leaves makes white spots.
- Pull off spent flowers and old leaves at the base
- In winter, keep it above 15°C
Common questions
White or brown spots on the leaves?
Usually cold water on the leaf, or direct sun. Don't let water touch the leaves.
No flowers?
Not enough light. Move it to a brighter window, or use a grow light.
