- Soil: Well-drained, nutrient-rich potting mix with cocopeat and compost.

Placement
Suits indoor corners, spots beside furniture, near well-lit windows, or office lobbies - a bold, structural piece for modern or minimalist décor.
Care
- Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry; avoid overwatering.
