Care Tips
-
Planting InstructionsUse a pot with drainage. Position the root ball at the same depth as in its nursery container; for cane pieces, set vertically and firm in. Water to settle and place in bright, indirect light.
-
Soil MoistureWater when the top 1–2 in (2.5–5 cm) of potting mix is dry. Avoid soggy soil; empty saucers. Reduce frequency in low light or winter.
-
Soil TypeWell-draining indoor mix: peat- or coco-based with perlite/pumice and fine bark. Slightly acidic to neutral (pH ~6.0–6.5).
-
HumidityPrefers 40–60% RH. Increase with a pebble tray or humidifier if leaf tips brown; ensure gentle air movement to deter pests.
-
Pruning InstructionsSnip yellow or damaged leaves at the base. Tip-prune canes to control height—new shoots emerge below the cut. Wipe leaves to remove dust.
-
Winter CareKeep above 60°F (16°C); protect from cold drafts and heat vents. Water less often and do not overfertilize during low light months.
-
Planting DepthSet the existing root ball level with the soil surface. For cane cuttings, bury 1–2 nodes to encourage rooting; keep top nodes above soil.
-
FertilizationFeed monthly in spring–summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer at 1/4–1/2 strength. Flush the pot occasionally to prevent salt build-up.
-
Special CareSensitive to fluoride and salts—use filtered or rainwater if possible. Rotate for even variegation; repot every 2–3 years. Monitor for spider mites and mealybugs; treat promptly if found.
Styling note: Pair with matte black or natural wood planters to amplify the lime variegation and modern vibe.
