Care Guide
Light: Bright, indirect light. Variegation needs strong light to maintain color.
Avoid direct sun (can burn lighter sections). Low light may cause reversion to solid green.
Water: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow top 1–2 inches to dry between waterings.
Soil: Well-draining aroid mix (peat + perlite + orchid bark).
Temperature: Thrives in 18–28°C (65–82°F). Keep away from drafts and cold windows.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (40–70%). Mist occasionally or use a humidifier if needed.
Fertilizer: Feed monthly during growing season (spring–summer) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.
Repotting: Every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot.
Growth Habit: Self-heading (grows upright, not vining). Produce large, broad leaves. Slower growth due to heavy variegation.
Maintenance: Remove fully reverted (all-green) leaves to preserve variegation.
Clean leaves to keep them vibrant and healthy.
Tips: Stable conditions are key - avoid frequent moving. Variegated sections are more delicate, handle gently. Bright light = better, more stable variegation
Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested (keep away from pets and children)
