Plant Care Tips

Light: Prefers bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and fade the vein pattern.

Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry.

Soil: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix with coco peat, compost, and perlite for aeration.

Humidity: Requires high humidity. Regular misting, pebble trays, or placing near a humidifier helps prevent leaf browning.

Temperature: Thrives between 20°C–32°C. Protect from cold drafts and air-conditioning.

Fertilizer: Feed once every 3–4 weeks during the growing season using a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Maintenance: Wipe leaves gently to remove dust. Trim damaged or yellowing leaves to maintain plant health and appearance.
