Care Tips for Broken Heart Plant:

1. Light: The Broken Heart Plant thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so place it in a well-lit area with filtered light.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and reduce watering during the winter months.
3. Humidity: This plant loves humidity, so mist the leaves regularly or keep it in a room with a humidifier for optimal growth.
4. Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 18-24°C. Keep it away from drafts or cold areas, as it prefers warm conditions.
5. Pruning: Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and removes dead or damaged leaves. Trim the plant in spring to shape it and control its size.
6. Fertilizing: Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
7. Repotting: Repot the plant every 1-2 years, preferably in spring, using a well-draining potting mix.
