LIGHT: A nice brightly lit spot is ideal, without direct sunlight.

WATERING: Water once the soil becomes slightly dry to the touch and make sure the pot has sufficient drainage holes to allow excess water to seep through. The worst thing you can do regarding watering is "give it too much".

SOIL: A well-draining and well-aerated potting soil is needed. 1 part peat, 1 part pine bark and 1 part coarse sand (or perlite) is a good mix.

HUMIDITY: Normal room humidity is fine. To improve humidity mist the leaves when it gets very warm in the summer.

FERTILISER: Once a month, high in Nitrogen to enhance the growth of evergreen leaves.
