• Sunlight Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates partial shade and can adapt to full sun if provided with sufficient water.
• Watering Needs: Keep soil consistently moist; avoid letting the soil dry out completely. Thrives in wet or boggy conditions.
• Soil Type: Rich, well-draining soil with high organic matter content; can tolerate heavy, water-retentive soils in outdoor settings.
• Temperature and Humidity: Thrives in temperatures between 65–85°F (18–29°C); prefers high humidity levels. Protect from frost.
• Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during the growing season; reduce feeding in fall and winter.
• Pruning Needs: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves regularly to maintain appearance and encourage healthy growth.
• Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or as needed; choose a larger pot to accommodate the fast-growing root system.

• Additional Tips: Avoid exposing the plant to cold drafts; can be grown as a water plant in ponds or water gardens. Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture.
