🌿 Growth & Appearance
Height: 0.5–2m indoors (easily maintained with pruning).
Leaves: Glossy, green, or variegated leaflets that radiate from a central point, creating a "full hand" effect.
Habit: Naturally bushy and multi-stemmed for immediate volume.

🏆 Survival Superpowers
Light adaptable: Happy in everything from bright indirect light to standard office fluorescents.
Drought-tolerant: Forgiving nature makes it perfect for busy workweeks.

☀️ Light & Location
Best: Bright, indirect light (near a window is ideal).
Thrives in: Standard office fluorescent lighting all day.
Avoid: Intense, direct afternoon sun which can scorch the leaves.

💦 Watering
The Rule: Water only when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry.
Schedule: Typically every 1-2 weeks in an AC-controlled office.
AC rooms: Water thoroughly, then ensure the pot drains completely. Empty the saucer to prevent root rot.

🌡️ Climate Tips
Ideal temp: 15°C - 26°C (perfectly suited for UAE office environments).
Dry air fix: Mist the leaves weekly or place on a pebble tray to combat AC dryness and keep leaves glossy.

✂️ Maintenance
Dust leaves monthly to keep them shiny and efficient.
Prune easily to control size and encourage even bushier growth.
Rotate the pot monthly to ensure even growth on all sides.
