🌾 Fertilization and Maintenance:
Feed once a month during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Wipe leaves to remove dust and keep them shiny. Repot every 2–3 years to refresh soil.
🐛 Common Diseases and Pests:
Susceptible to spider mites, scale, and root rot if overwatered. Use neem oil spray and ensure proper drainage to avoid issues.
⏳ Time to Maturity & Flowering:
Fast-growing in the right conditions. Matures in 2–3 years. Rarely flowers indoors, but its foliage steals the show all year long.
