Light Requirements
While Cebu Blue will tolerate medium light conditions, your Cebu Blue will perform best when positioned in bright indirect light. Signs that your Cebu Blue is getting too much light is burnt leaves. This can be resolved by changing the position of your plant to somewhere that better suits its light requirements.
Temperature

In optimal conditions your Cebu Blue should be fertilized weekly during spring and summer with a diluted fertilizer. During winter, fertilizing can be reduced to monthly. This will assist in keeping your plant alive as well as promote healthy growth.
Soil Requirements
