    About a year ago, I took a small snip from a big tree in the front lobby of my apartment bldg. (Sorry, I couldn't resist) I loved its' gracefulness but I have no idea what it is or how to properly care for it. It's almost 2ft tall now. Thank you.

    Hi Michael,
    Thankyou very much for identifying my plants. Would you know the best way to take care of them? I wondered if they should have fertilizer and if so, what kind? Much appreciated, ~ Lily ~

    They mainly dislike any sudden changes in their environment - try to keep temperatures fairly steady around 20-25°C in summer, 15-20°C in winter, avoid any sudden drops or rises, and keep humidity high. Keep the soil moist, not dry nor soaking wet. Add a pot plant fertiliser from time to time, not a lot just a bit (follow the label instructions).
