A few tips for keeping your plant happy:

• Settling In: Unpack and unwind! Let your new plant settle in for 24-48 hours before repotting. Allowing it to acclimate will help it thrive in its new home.
• Lighting: Bright, indirect light is best. It can tolerate some low light, but will grow slower.
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix, like a peat-based mix with perlite, works great to keep it healthy.
• Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Be careful not to overwater, especially in cooler months.
