Basic Care Lipstick & Goldfish: Easy
Watering: Don't let it completely dry out. Water when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry.
Light: Opt for bright, filtered light. Direct sunlight can burn the foliage, while too little light may cause leaves to drop.
Soil/Drainage: It best suits a well-aerated, draining tropical mix, though it can handle a standard indoor potting mix.
Temperature/Humidity: It's OK with average room temperatures and humidity but thrives in warmer and humid conditions.
