Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant leaf patterns. Tolerates medium light but avoid direct sunlight, which can fade its colors and patterns.
- Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Use distilled or rainwater if possible, as this plant is sensitive to salts and chemicals in tap water.

- Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid fertilizer.
- 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.
