Care Instructions:
Drama Queen loves bright, indirect light, so find a spot where it can soak up some filtered sunshine. Keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained, as it enjoys a good drink but hates soggy roots. High humidity is essential, so mist regularly or place it near a humidifier. Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (15°C) to keep it looking fabulous. Remember, it's toxic to pets, so keep it out of their reach.
