Plant Care Guide
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal.
Variegated leaves require more light than the standard green form to maintain strong coloration. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage and variegated sections.
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 18–28°C (65–82°F). Keep above 15°C (59°F). Avoid cold drafts.
Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60–80%). Mist occasionally or use a pebble tray. Avoid placing near dry air vents or heaters.
