Plant Care
☀️ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light and can tolerate some gentle direct sunlight. Avoid intense afternoon sun through glass, particularly during Cyprus' hot summer months.
💧 Water: Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain freely. Avoid allowing the roots to remain in standing water.
💦 Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity and generally adapts well to normal indoor conditions. Higher humidity can help maintain healthy, glossy foliage.
🌡️ Temperature: Thrives between 18–28°C. Protect from temperatures below 12–15°C, cold drafts and strong air conditioning.

🍃 Foliage: Produces clusters of glossy green leaflets that radiate from a central point, creating the characteristic umbrella-like appearance.
