Care Instructions:

Star Power is a down-to-earth plant that loves bright, indirect light or even low light conditions. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, so no sunbathing for this star! Water it once the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring not to drench it—this plant likes it on the dry side. Humidity is its friend, so feel free to mist the leaves occasionally to recreate its rainforest roots. No fertilizer? No worries! You only need to feed it a diluted balanced fertilizer every couple of months during the growing season—it’s an easy-going star!
