When growing, most varieties do best in a filtered light situation, where bright to moderate light shines through a sheer curtain or other filtering window cover. Filtered light is particularly important in the spring and summer, when is producing new, tender leaves that are subject to sunburn if the light is too bright or shines directly on the plant. Rotate plant regularly to provide adequate light to all sides of the plant and prevent it from reaching toward the light on one side. Some plants require low filtered light. Fertilize twice a month to encourage growth and a healthy plant. A houseplant food high in nitrogen.
