They are tolerant of shade, low light conditions but prefer moderate to bright. Strong direct light will cause the leaves to burn or fade

Can go for long periods of time with out water, but prefers to be kept evenly moist to slightly dry. One time I forgot about 3 plants in the north window of a room, for 2 months. They never got watered and are still alive today. Not a recommended practice!
