Arboricola
Light
Place the plant in bright, indirect light, but avoid direct midday sun. It can tolerate medium and low light, but growth will be slower.
Water
Water the plant when the top 75% of the soil is dry. Water slowly until water drains freely from the bottom of the pot, then remove any excess water from the saucer. Overwatering can cause the leaves to turn yellow and drop off.
Temperature
Keep the plant in temperatures between 50°–80°F. Avoid exposing it to cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F.
Humidity
The plant prefers a humid environment of around 60%. You can add a pebble tray or humidifier to increase humidity.
Fertilizer
Feed the plant once a month during the spring and summer with an all-purpose indoor plant fertilizer. You can also apply liquid fertilizer every 15 days while the plant is actively growing.
Pruning
Prune the plant regularly to maintain its shape and size. Use clean pruning shears and remove no more than 30% of the plant at a time.
Toxicity
The plant is toxic to humans and pets if ingested. The sap contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the skin, so you should wear gloves when handling the plant.
