Sunlight
Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent burning. Dark corners should also be avoided. Several feet from a southwestern or southeastern exposure is best.
Water
Water 1 or 2 a week. The Morocco loves consistent moisture at the roots. Take care to allow the top 2" -3" to dry between waterings. Requires a very humid environment and above-average home humidity levels.
