🔆 Light Requirements

Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light to maintain vivid golden tones.
Tolerates: Partial shade, though leaves may turn greener.
Avoid: Direct midday sun, which can burn the leaves and bleach their color.

💧 Watering Guidelines

When to Water: Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry.
Frequency: Once a week in warmer months; reduce in winter.
Important: Ensure well-draining soil and pot to prevent root rot. Avoid overwatering.

🌾 Soil & Potting

Soil: Rich, well-draining potting mix. A blend of indoor soil with perlite or coco coir is ideal.
Pot: Use a container with drainage holes. Golden Xanadu appreciates room for root growth.

🌱 Fertilization

Feed: Every 4 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
Avoid: Fertilizing in winter or overfeeding, which can lead to salt buildup.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

Prune: Snip off yellow or damaged leaves near the base to keep the plant tidy and healthy.
Cleaning: Wipe leaves gently to maintain their bright, glossy appearance.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when the plant outgrows its container.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally if air is dry.
