💧 Water
- Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged.
- Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels slightly dry.
- Use filtered or distilled water whenever possible, as the plant is sensitive to minerals found in tap water.

💦 Humidity

- For indoor conditions in Dubai:
- Mist the leaves regularly.
