Plant Care Guide

Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun. Avoid direct sunlight - it can scorch the leaves. Can tolerate moderate light indoors but colors may fade.

Water: Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water when the top 1–2 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid water on leaves to prevent spots or rot.

Soil: Well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Add perlite or orchid bark for extra aeration.

Temperature: Thrives in 18–25°C (65–77°F). Keep above 15°C (59°F). Avoid cold drafts.

Humidity: Prefers high humidity (50–70%). Mist occasionally or use a pebble tray. Avoid placing near dry air vents or heaters.

Fertilizer: Feed with diluted balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks in spring–summer.

Pruning & Maintenance: Remove dead or yellowing leaves regularly. Pinch back stems to encourage bushier growth.

Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when root-bound. Best in spring when growth resumes.

Tips: Keep away from direct sun and cold drafts. Rotate the plant for even growth and leaf exposure. Ideal for tabletops, shelves, and indoor plant displays.

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.
