This is a low maintenance houseplant. It enjoys high humidity but will tolerate normal to low levels of humidity as well. As it grows, it will drop old leaves to slowly reveal a skinny trunk. This plant can be pruned for a bushier look, but it is typically grown as a tall, skinny tree. If the plant is pruned, stem cuttings can be propagated to create new plants. This plant enjoys being root bound in a smaller size pot, so we recommend waiting to repot it until absolutely necessary.
