🌿Why You’ll Love It

✔ NASA-approved air purifier – famously removes formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene.
✔ Thrives in low light – The undisputed champion of dim corners and windowless offices.
✔ Drought-tolerant – Perfect for weekends and holiday breaks when the office is empty.
✔ UAE-acclimated – Tolerates the dry, air-conditioned environment of modern offices.

🌱 Growth & Appearance

• Height: 1.5–2m+ indoors (perfect tall, vertical accent).
• Leaves: Long, arching, green with a central yellow stripe (the "Massangeana" signature look).
• Cane Style: Often sold as multiple, layered canes for instant fullness and architectural interest.

🏆 Survival Superpowers

• Neglect-tolerant: Forget to water? No problem. It prefers to dry out.
• Slow-growing: Won't outgrow its space quickly, maintaining its perfect look for years.
• Adaptable: Handles the consistent temperature of air-conditioned spaces brilliantly.

☀️ Light & Location

• Best: Bright, indirect light (within 2m of a window).
• Thrives in: Standard fluorescent office lighting all day long.
• Avoid: Harsh direct midday sun through glass (will scorch the leaves).

💦 Watering (Easy Mode)

• Key Rule: Water only when the top 2 inches of soil are dry to the touch.
• Frequency: Typically every 2-3 weeks in an AC office. When in doubt, wait it out!
• Pro Tip: Water thoroughly, then let all excess water drain out. Never let it sit in water.

🌡️ Climate Tips

• Ideal temp: 18–26°C (your office is its perfect climate).
• Brown tip fix: Caused by dry air or fluoride in water. Mist leaves occasionally or use filtered water.

✂️ Maintenance

• Dust leaves: Wipe with a damp cloth every month to keep it photosynthesizing efficiently.
• Pruning: Snip off any brown tips or yellowing leaves at the stem to keep it tidy.
