- Moderately moist soil is preferred. Water thoroughly only after soil is dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering; do not allow plants to stand in water. Drain excess water in saucer at base of pot to prevent root rot and protect furniture.
- Tropical green plants prefer temperatures that are warm: 70-72 F (21-22 C) daytimes and 65-70 F (18-21 C) nights. Avoid excessively hot or cold areas. Fertilize periodically, following manufacturers directions.
