      Allow soil to dry completely between waterings.

      Propagate easily by leaf cuttings or division of rhizomes.

      ❌ Don’t:

      Don’t water frequently → leaves may rot.

      Don’t let plant sit in water-filled saucers.

      Don’t expose to cold drafts or frost (<10°C).

      Don’t use too much fertilizer → may damage roots.
