Care Instructions

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can bleach its delicate leaves. Can adapt to lower light but may grow more slowly.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, but do not let it become waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Use distilled or filtered water if possible, as tap water can cause leaf spots.

Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid fertilizer designed for houseplants.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
Soil: Use a well-draining, organic-rich potting mix designed for tropical plants.
