Plant Care Guide:
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch and fade its beautiful leaves. It tolerates medium indirect light but may grow more slowly.
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Use filtered, distilled, or rainwater for best results, as it can be sensitive to the chemicals in tap water.
Humidity: Loves high humidity (60% or above). To keep it happy, place it on a pebble tray, group it with other plants, or use a humidifier, especially in dry climates or during winter.
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 65°F - 85°F (18°C - 29°C). Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Soil: A well-draining, peat-based potting mix is ideal.
