Care Tips

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves and fade colors.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Use distilled, filtered, or rainwater, as it can be sensitive to chemicals in tap water.
• Humidity: Requires high humidity to thrive. Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or group with other plants.
• Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix that retains some moisture.
• Feeding: Fertilize sparingly (once a month) during the spring and summer growing season with a diluted liquid plant food.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm, consistent temperatures (18-27°C / 65-80°F). Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature drops.
• Pruning: Trim any yellowing or browning leaves at the base to encourage new growth and maintain appearance.
• Pet-Friendly: Non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for homes with pets.
