Height: 1–2m indoors (creates an immediate impact).
Leaves: Large, iconic violin-shaped leaves with prominent veining.
Form: Single, upright stem with a compact, lush canopy (no messy branching).

🏆 Survival Superpowers
AC adaptable: Prefers the stable temperatures of climate-controlled offices.
Light lover: Thrives in the bright light of window-lined offices or lobbies.

☀️ Light & Location (The MOST Important Factor!)
Best: Very bright, indirect light. Place next to east or west-facing windows or in a brightly lit atrium.
Tolerates: Bright, filtered light (like through a sheer curtain).
Avoid: Deep shade (cubicles far from windows) and harsh direct midday sun (scorches leaves). This is not a low-light plant.

💦 Watering
The Key: Consistency is king! Water when the top 3-4 cm of soil is dry.
Schedule: Typically every 1-2 weeks, but always check the soil first. Offices with more light will need water more often.
AC rooms: Water thoroughly until it drains out the bottom, then empty the saucer immediately. Never let it sit in water.

🌡️ Climate Tips
Ideal temp: 18°C - 24°C (perfect for UAE office AC).
Humidity hack: Thrives with higher humidity. Mist leaves 2-3 times a week or place on a pebble tray to combat AC dryness and prevent brown edges.

✂️ Maintenance
Dust leaves weekly with a damp cloth to keep them photosynthesizing efficiently.
Rotate the pot a quarter turn weekly to ensure even growth and prevent leaning.
Avoid drafts: Keep away from direct blasts from AC vents to prevent leaf drop.
