1. Choosing tea 
   First of all, it is important to choose the right tea. We choose black or green tea. We do not use fruit teas. We let the tea bag dry for 1-2 days, this will avoid mold. 
2. Usage
   There are two methods of using the tea. You can cut open the bag and pour it into the soil. Pour the opened tea bag into the soil and mix the contents with the substrate. The second option is to insert the bag completely under the surface of the soil. Bury it 2-3 cm deep. 
3. Other tips
   After placing the tea, water the plant as usual. It is important to change the tea bag every 2-3 weeks. When repotting the plant, you can mix the tea directly into the substrate. Watch how the plant reacts to the tea. 
4. Diffused light 
   This is a plant that needs indirect light that is bright enough. Direct light can damage its leaves. On the other hand, if it is in too much shade, growth will slow down. 
5. Temperature and humidity
   It needs a temperature between 18-25 degrees. Avoid temperature changes and drafts. The humidity should be above 60 percent. We can use a humidifier or place the pot over a bowl of pebbles. 
6. Cleaning the leaves
   Clean the leaves of the toulitka regularly with a damp cloth. Not only will it improve its appearance, but it will also breathe better. Do not use polishes on the leaves, which could damage the plant.
