Ensure the pot has ample drainage holes, opting for materials like ceramic or resin that complement both the plant and your indoor décor . Consider repotting into a slightly larger pot during periods of vigorous growth.

Propagation: This gem can be propagated through leaf or stem cuttings. Place cuttings in a partially shaded area, keeping the soil lightly moist. Roots should typically develop within a few weeks.
