Care Instructions

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant leaf patterns. Tolerates medium light but may grow slower and lose some vibrancy. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Use distilled or filtered water to avoid leaf discoloration caused by tap water minerals. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
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.
