Secrets to success
 
Temperature: Preferred temperature of 15°C and above - keep out of draughts. 
Light: Bright indirect light is best. Direct sun would scorch the leaves. 
Watering: During active growth water enough to make the potting mix moist. Allow them to dry out a little in winter.
Air humidity: To increase humidity mist your plant, group it together with other plants, use a humidifier or add clean pebbles to a shallow water-filled tray and place the plant on top, as the water evaporates it will boost the humidity around the plant.
Fertilising: Feed monthly during the growing season - use half the recommended dosage of fertiliser.
