-
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light, but is very tolerant of lower light conditions. Brighter light helps maintain vibrant variegation.
-
Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. This plant prefers consistent, moderate moisture but will forgive occasional missed waterings.
-
Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity but adapts well to typical indoor conditions. Increase humidity if the leaf edges start to brown.
-
Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 18–29°C.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix—something rich in organic material, with added perlite or orchid bark for structure.
-
Feeding: Fertilize every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer to support growth and vibrant colouring.
-
Pruning: Trim leggy stems or damaged leaves to encourage fuller, bushier growth. It’s easy to propagate through stem cuttings!
