🔆 Light Requirements

Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light.

Tolerates: Medium light. Can adapt to lower light, but leaf patterns may become less vibrant.

Avoid: Direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaves and fade the variegation.

💧 Watering Guidelines

When to Water: Let the top 1–2 inches of soil dry out before watering again.

Frequency: Approximately once a week during active growth; reduce in cooler months.

Important: Avoid overwatering — soggy soil can cause root rot. Ensure your pot has good drainage.

🌾 Soil & Potting

Soil: Use a well-draining, aerated indoor potting mix. Add perlite or coco coir for extra airflow.

Pot: A container with drainage holes is essential. Consider a slightly snug fit to control moisture better.

🌱 Fertilization

Feed: Every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced houseplant fertilizer.

Avoid: Overfeeding or fertilizing during fall and winter, when growth naturally slows.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

Prune: Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves by cutting at the base with sterile scissors.

Cleaning: Wipe leaves regularly with a damp cloth to enhance their shine and help with photosynthesis.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or use a humidifier in dry climates.
