Ferns and palms enjoy higher humidity. Use a humidifier or mist leaves regularly if your home is dry.

Cleaning:
Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and maximize air purification efficiency.

Repotting:
Repot plants every 1-2 years to replenish soil nutrients and encourage healthy growth.
