Care Guide
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Adequate light is essential to maintain strong variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the lighter portions of the leaves.
Water: Water when the top 2–3 inches of soil are dry. Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Soil: Use a well-draining, airy mix such as potting soil combined with perlite and orchid bark. Good drainage is essential.
Temperature: Ideal range is 18–27°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average indoor levels. Higher humidity encourages healthier, larger foliage.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
Pruning & Maintenance: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to encourage new growth and maintain appearance.
Tips: Provide space for expansion as it matures into a large, statement plant. Rotate occasionally for even growth.
