Care Instructions

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant leaf pattern. Tolerates medium light but may grow slower and lose some vibrancy. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
  • Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring proper drainage to prevent root rot.
  • Humidity: Thrives in normal indoor humidity but appreciates occasional misting in drier environments.
  • Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding during 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 or succulents.
