ā€¢ Maintain moderate humidity by grouping with other plants or using a humidity tray for container plants
ā€¢ Thrives in temperatures between 15-25Ā°C and benefits from protection during extreme heat waves

ā€¢ Snails and slugs may damage young shoots - apply pet-safe baits or create copper barriers around plants
ā€¢ Brown leaf tips indicate underwatering or low humidity - increase watering frequency and mulch around the base
