Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant red tones. Tolerates medium light but may lose some vibrancy in lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
- Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water sparingly, as this plant stores moisture in its thick leaves. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high 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 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.
