Ed's Care Guide

✔ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some shade. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves.
💧 Water: Water once a week, allowing the topsoil to dry out between waterings. Avoid soggy soil.
💨 Humidity: Loves humidity! While it tolerates average household humidity, placing it near a humidifier or misting occasionally will encourage lush growth.
🌡 Temperature: Thrives between 50-75°F. Keep it indoors during winter and avoid temperatures below 40°F.
✂ Pruning: Trim dead or browning leaves to maintain shape and encourage new growth. A moss pole can help support its upright form.
🌱 Feeding: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) for optimal health.
🔄 Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings in water or soil.
🐜 Pests & Issues: Generally pest-resistant but watch for common houseplant pests like spider mites or aphids.
⚠ Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested—keep out of reach of curious paws and little hands.
