REPOTTING：
If you have the plant for a year or so and you observe the plant is growing slow, check for its nutrient requirements or the plants need a bigger pot.
SOIL:
Provide a loose, a well-draining soil mixture, not much sandy. Since they prefer organic content in the soil such as peat, coconut peat, keeping a balanced acidic soil (pH 6-6.5) is benefitting to the plant growth.
LIGHT:
These plant needs a bright indirect light so keep near a window where sunlight does not fall. Do not let direct sunlight touch the foliage, the leaves may become scorched or many leaves will turn yellow.
WATERING:
Since they belong to the tropics, they prefer moist soil.Before watering check for the moisture level in soil by inserting your finger up to an inch, if soil feels dry then water the plant (twice or thrice a week).
Drooping of leaves is possible if the plant is underwatered or overwatered. Reduce watering during winters.
PRUNING:
Pruning is not required much but if you wish to contain the plant or make it bushier or if the plant’s becoming leggy, then prune it. Pruning should be done in early springor fall . Do remove the yellow leaves.
