Plant Care Guide
Light
- Bright indirect light is ideal.
- Can tolerate a few hours of gentle morning sun.
- Avoid harsh afternoon sun, which may scorch variegated leaves.
- Insufficient light can reduce variegation and slow growth.
Watering
- Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.
- Water when the top 2–5 cm (1–2 inches) of soil feels slightly dry.
- Increase watering during active growth in spring and summer.
- Reduce watering during cooler months.
Humidity
- Prefers moderate to high humidity (60%+).
- Benefits from humidifiers or greenhouse conditions.
- Higher humidity helps prevent browning leaf edges.
Temperature
- Ideal range: 20–30°C (68–86°F).
- Avoid temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
- Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
Soil
- Rich, well-draining tropical plant mix.
- A blend containing coco coir, bark, perlite, and compost works well.
- Soil should retain moisture while allowing excess water to drain.
Fertilizer
- Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer.
- Reduce feeding during fall and winter.

Seasonal Care Tips
Winter— Canadian winters mean shorter daylight and dry indoor air from heating. If natural light is limited from November through February, a full-spectrum grow light on a 12-hour timer helps maintain healthy growth and prevents etiolation (stretching toward light). Water sparingly once soil begins to dry, keep away from heating vents and cold glass, and use a humidifier or pebble tray to maintain humidity. Keep plants comfortably above 15°C.
