Exposure: Bright light without direct sun.
Dimensions: From 30 to 70 cm, and more.
Watering: Once a week. Let the soil dry between two waterings. Drastically reduce watering in winter (once a month, or less if the temperature is cool).
Maintenance: Every month, or a little more often, pass a clean, damp sponge over the leaves to remove dust. Never milk them, as is often advised, you will only add a greasy film
to the foliage. Do not use a polishing product either, as it is too polluting.
Repotting: The plant does not need too frequent repotting. Every 4 or 5 years, when you see that it is starting to get really cramped in its pot, give it a new container, with a diameter and depth of 3 to 5 cm greater, no more . The important thing is that the pot provides good stability to the plant.
Notes: never cut the tips of the leaves, even if you find them a little prickly. This is where the growth point is. If you remove it, the development of the plant would be stopped.
