Not covered under guaranteeUnbox the plant immediately and place it in indirect bright light.
Let it rest for 2–3 days before transplanting (if needed).
Water with 300–500 ml and avoid overwatering.
Then follow the care guide below for long-term success.
For thickening the base trunk, allow slight drying between waterings. The “elephant foot” look becomes more pronounced when the plant is watered deeply but infrequently.
Use a well-draining mix. Best recipe:
40% potting soil, 30% coarse sand, and 30% cocopeat or perlite.
Bright, indirect sunlight is ideal. A sunny windowsill with filtered light works perfectly.
Avoid dark rooms or full shade - it will stretch and lose shape.
Young Plants: Water once every 7-10 days with 300-500 ml.
Mature Plants: Water once every 2-3 weeks with 700 ml-1 liter.
Always check top 2 inches - if dry, water. If damp, wait.
Reduce watering in winter.
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once every 2 months during active growth (March-September).
Avoid overfeeding - once in 60 days is enough.
Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust.
Remove any dry tips or damaged leaves with clean scissors.
