Care Tips

• Light: Thrives in medium to bright, indirect light. Place it where it receives ample filtered light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves and dull its vibrant colors. Insufficient light may reduce its colorful variegation.

• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing period (spring and summer). Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. During winter, allow the soil to dry out a little more before watering to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage.

• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Occasional misting or placing it near a humidifier will be beneficial, especially in dry environments.

• Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix rich in organic matter. An Aroid mix is often suitable.

• Temperature: Prefers average room temperatures between 18-29°C (65-85°F). Protect from cold drafts, which can cause leaf damage.

• Feeding: Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the spring and summer growing seasons with a balanced liquid houseplant food, diluted to half strength.

• Pruning: Prune to maintain desired shape, encourage bushier growth, or manage its vining habit.
