Plant Care Tips

Light: Prefers bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves and fade patterns.

Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry. Use filtered or RO water for best results.

Soil: Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix with coco peat, compost, and perlite.

Humidity: Requires high humidity. Regular misting or placing near a humidifier helps prevent leaf curling and browning.

Temperature: Thrives between 18°C–30°C. Protect from cold drafts and air conditioners.

Fertilizer: Feed once every 4 weeks during the growing season with a mild liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Maintenance: Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust. Trim dry or damaged edges to keep the plant healthy.
