Golden tips for caring for shade plants
Although it does not need direct sunlight, some simple care will ensure optimal growth:
Watering: The golden rule is "water when needed, not regularly." Make sure the top layer of soil is dry before watering. Overwatering is the number one enemy of shade-loving plants.
Lighting: "Shade" does not mean "total darkness." These plants prefer indirect or dim light. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, which can burn their leaves.
Ventilation: Make sure there is good ventilation in the room to avoid moisture buildup, which can lead to fungal problems.
Cleaning: Wipe the dust off its leaves with a soft, damp cloth from time to time to help it breathe and absorb light.
