Help me grow!

• I enjoy bright, indirect or filtered light and can happily thrive in medium light. Bright, direct light may result in the scalding of my leaves and leaf loss.
• I thrive in relatively high humidity and thus love to be pampered with a regular misting or soaking in a pebble tray filled with water.
• Occasionally, do dust or spray my leaves with a damp cloth or a gentle spray from the shower head for a refreshing wash.
• Always water me after checking the top of the soil first. If it is dry, it means I require a good watering.
• Cold drafts from doors and windows harm me and I prefer a warmer temperature between 16 degrees to 21 degrees.
• My sap can be toxic, if ingested, hence best to keep me away from pets.
• It is advisable to prune me in winters (using a sharp pair of scissors) when my growth diminishes and I go into dormancy.
