Light
I love light. So please place me in a well-lit spot. Preferably close to the window or where sunlight comes in. Found a good spot? Then leave me there.

Give me half a mug (150 ml) of water a week. In the summer when its warmer I evaporate more water. So give me more water in the summer. 2 mugs (500 ml) of water a week please. But avoid leaving me with wet feet. Too little water is better than too much.
Smaller plants need less water than larger plants. One small cup of water (75 ml) a week is enough in the winter. In the summer one full mug (250 ml) of water a week is enough. Here too, avoid getting my feet wet. Better too little water than too much.
I love plant food. Once every 30 days please.
Do not place me in a dark spot, and avoid draughts. I will shed leaves and will be less able to cope with plant diseases.
If I shed leaves, don't give me extra water. That's not the cause. Find a lighter spot for me! !
With my leaves I turn water, sunlight and gasses into sugars and oxygen. I thereby purify your air and control humidity.
Look after me, and I will look after you!
