    • Size: Grows up to 3-6 feet tall indoors with proper care.

    Care Instructions

    • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its variegation. Prolonged low light may cause faded or reverted foliage. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
    • Water: Allow the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring proper drainage to prevent root rot.
    • Humidity: Thrives in normal to high indoor humidity. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier in drier environments.
    • Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it’s a slow-growing plant.
    • Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. Protect from cold drafts and prolonged exposure to temperatures below 60°F.
    • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with organic matter to support healthy growth.
