🌞 Light Requirements

Performs well in medium to bright indirect light. More light brings out stronger pink-red tones, while lower light produces softer shades. Avoid harsh direct sunlight to prevent burns.

💧 Watering

Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep soil moist but not soggy. Overwatering may cause yellowing, while prolonged dryness can dull foliage color.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Best grown at 18–30°C with moderate to high humidity. Adapts well to normal indoor conditions but appreciates occasional misting in dry weather.

🌱 Soil & Fertilizer

Use a loose, well-draining mix enriched with cocopeat, compost, and perlite. Feed once a month during active growth with a balanced liquid fertilizer to enhance vibrant leaf color.

✂️ Care & Maintenance

Wipe leaves occasionally to highlight their pink-red sheen. Trim older leaves for fresh new growth. Repot every 2 years to maintain soil quality and root health.

⚠️ Pet Safety

❌ Not safe for pets – mildly toxic if ingested by cats and dogs.
