Care Instructions

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant patterns. Tolerates medium light but may grow slower and lose some vibrancy. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Mist regularly or place near a humidifier to replicate its natural environment.
Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, such as one formulated for tropical plants.
