Light Requirements

  • Prefers bright, indirect light.
  • Can tolerate lower light conditions but avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade their vibrant patterns.

Watering

  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use lukewarm, filtered, or distilled water to avoid chlorine damage. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Humidity and Temperature

  • Thrives in high humidity (above 50–60%). Mist regularly or place near a humidifier.
  • Optimal temperature range: 65–80°F (18–27°C). Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.

Soil and Fertilizer

  • Use well-draining potting soil with peat moss or coco coir for moisture retention.
  • Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
