Height: Grows slowly but can reach 1.6 ft
Light: Care should be taken to keep it away from drafts and direct sun, which can scorch the leaves. Will tolerate low light.
Water: This easy-care house plant will tolerate many abuses, but be careful not to over-water or over-fertilize. Droopy, yellow leaves are a sign it’s overwatered and may indicate root rot. Be sure to use a container with a drainage hole and never allow the plant to stand in water.
