🔆 Light Requirements
Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light helps maintain its vibrant golden color.
Tolerates: Medium light; however, leaves may darken slightly.
Avoid: Direct sunlight, especially in the afternoon — it can scorch the delicate foliage.
💧 Watering Guidelines
When to Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings.
Frequency: Water every 7–10 days during growing season; reduce in winter.
Important: Ensure the pot drains well — overwatering is the most common cause of stress in this plant.
🌾 Soil & Potting
Soil: A loose, rich, well-draining potting mix — use indoor potting soil with added cocopeat and perlite.
Pot: Use a pot with drainage holes. A heavy ceramic pot helps stabilize its large leaves and upright growth.
🌱 Fertilization
Feed: Every 4 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
Avoid: Fertilizing in winter unless actively growing indoors with supplemental lighting.
✂️ Pruning & Maintenance
Prune: Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves at the base to keep the plant healthy and tidy.
Growth Tip: As it matures, it may develop a woody trunk and wide spread — perfect for floor placement.
Cleaning: Wipe the large leaves regularly to maintain their luster and allow efficient photosynthesis.
🪴 Humidity & Temperature
Humidity: Loves higher humidity. Use a pebble tray, humidifier, or mist during dry seasons.
Temperature: Ideal range is 18–28°C (65–82°F). Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
