How to Care for Ruby Star?

Sunlight: Ruby Star thrives well in slightly shaded spots like a well-lit kitchen, study, and living room. Protect the plant from bright, direct sunlight to avoid withering of leaves.

Watering: Water once a week right from the root area. Make sure to water only when the soil feels dry on touch.

Soil: Regular houseplant potting soil rich in sand and other porous materials is favorable growing medium for Ruby Star. Make sure it is well-draining and supports good aeration.

Fertilizer: Feed the Earth Star with a all purpose fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and keep it happy.
