[Management method]
《Placement》
Although it is a shade-tolerant houseplant, insufficient sunlight can cause it to lose its leaves and become leggy. If you keep it indoors, keep it in a soft, sunny, well-ventilated place.
The sun is strong in the summer, so avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as this can cause the leaves to burn. Either expose it to sunlight through a lace curtain, or grow it a little away from a window.
Once the weather warms up, you can keep it outside from spring to autumn.

In winter, it is generally safe to keep it in a place where the temperature can be maintained above 5°C. When it gets cold, even if you keep it indoors, keep it away from places where it is exposed to outside air, such as near a window. The entrance is also a place where outside air can easily enter, so it is recommended to move it to the living room or somewhere similar.

Watering
When the surface of the soil starts to dry, water it until water comes out from the bottom of the pot. The frequency of watering will vary depending on the season and environment, so if you change the location, we recommend observing how long it takes for the soil to dry after watering.
Growth slows down significantly in winter, and the plant does not absorb water as quickly. Be careful of root rot, and reduce the frequency of watering.

"fertilizer"
Fertilize from May to October during the growing season. Either liquid fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer is fine. Fertilize approximately every week to 10 days. This is a hardy houseplant, so it will do fine without fertilizer.
In the summer, houseplants can suffer from heat exhaustion, so it is best to refrain from fertilizing them when the temperature is around 35°C.
