Published indoor estimates range from approximately 4–12 feet, so do not assume this tree will stop growing at its offered height or remain below a 6-foot ceiling. Outdoors in tropical conditions, the species can become a very large tree; indoor dimensions are not suitable for landscape planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLight, Water \u0026amp; Everyday Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provide bright, filtered or indirect light.
