is a popular and elegant houseplant known for its graceful arching branches and glossy, pointed leaves.

Care Tips:

*1. Light:

Thrives in bright, indirect light.Can tolerate some direct morning sunlight.Avoid frequent moving or rotating, as it can drop leaves.

*2. Watering:

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry.Avoid overwatering—root rot is a common issue.Reduce watering frequency in winter.

*3. Humidity:

Prefers higher humidity; mist leaves or use a humidity tray if your home is dry.

*4. Temperature:

Likes 60–75°F (15–24°C).Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

*5. Soil:

Use a well-draining potting mix.A mix for tropical plants or standard indoor potting soil works well.

*6. Fertilizing:

Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring through early fall) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.No need to fertilize in winter.

*7. Pruning:

Prune to maintain shape or control size—best done in spring or early summer.Regular trimming helps promote bushier growth.

*8. Pests:

Watch for spider mites, mealybugs, and scale.Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

*9. Leaf Drop:

Common when the plant is stressed (change in light, water, temperature).Give it a little time—it often rebounds once conditions stabilize.
