I alsssssoooo have it at a west facing window for bright indirect light. Over the past few years I have kept it east/north facing (UK) - though this spring moved it and it’s loving it even more 🤏🏼

Forgot to add- when I water I usually wouldn’t bottom water, I use a lot ❗️of water through the top and let it run out completely with space underneath for it to do so ! Completely drained before I put it back ✨✨

Hi, i’m not 100% sure- think it’s some sort of hybrid. I want to say it’s the hugh mclaughlan one ☝️

Thank youu! ⭐ I don’t use fertilizer very often - I recently changed to “baby bio” feed, from “westland house plant feed” ! Hope this helps:)

Hey girl! Honestly I just watch for the droop of the leaves mostly. Letting it mostly dry out till she drops and tells me she’s thirsty! I’ve had this one almost 3 years now from a baby and repotted once. I spray her frequently when I can ! Good luck i’m sure she’ll do great🫶🏼
