🔆 Light Requirements

• Ideal Light: Bright, indirect sunlight to maintain golden leaf coloration.

• Tolerates: Moderate indirect light.

💧 Watering Guidelines

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

• Tip: Use room-temperature, filtered, or distilled water to prevent leaf tip browning.

🌱 Fertilization

• Feed: Every 4–6 weeks during active growth (spring and summer).

• Type: Balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at half strength.

• Skip: Fertilizer in fall and winter.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Remove yellow or damaged leaves and trim leggy stems to encourage fuller growth.

• Cleaning: Wipe leaves gently to enhance shine and photosynthesis.

• Repotting: Every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot.
