Prefers indirect light, can handle partial shade. In winter, however, we move it closer to the window so that the light shines on it evenly and preferably throughout the day.
We water roughly once or twice a week, it prefers wetter soil. However, let the upper part of the substrate dry out between waterings. Overwatering could cause rotting of the roots.
It is a tropical plant, therefore it requires dewing of the leaves, because it loves high air humidity.
Stem cuttings or top cuttings later in the spring. We place them in water where they should take root.
