LIGHTING

WATERING 
Let her soil dry out a little before her next watering. She’s very drought tolerant and will forgive you if you forget to water her. If she is placed in a shady spot she will only need watering once every few weeks. It’s best to check her soil weekly and water when the first three inches are dry.
HUMIDITY 
She will be happy in high and low levels of humidity although Marble doesn’t require any high levels of humidity, normal household humidity levels are good.
TEMPERATURE 
Marble can tolerate temperatures between 15-30°C. As long as the indoor temperature doesn't dip lower than 15°C Mable will be happy.
FERTILISER 
Marble will push out a lot of new foliage all year round especially in a filtered sunny spot. Fertilise her once every 4 weeks in the months from March-September.
REPOTTING 
Marble can be repotted yearly in the spring to promote faster and bigger growth. She’s a fast growing plant that will easily outgrown her original pot. Repot her in a potting mix filled with drainage materials such as perlite and bark.
