Care
- Excess water must be able to drain away easily and waterlogging should be avoided at all costs. - Plants that are sensitive to direct sunlight are best kept in an east or west-facing window with mild morning or evening sun. - As soon as temperatures no longer fall below 5°C, even at night, this plant can also be taken outside. A shower with lukewarm water will remove dust and revitalise your favourite. A semi-shady spot out of direct sunlight is best to prevent leaf damage. If necessary, the plant can also be repotted outdoors in spring, which saves cleaning work indoors.
