Care Essentials

• Light:
  • Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight may fade the leaf colors, while low light can cause the veins to lose their vibrancy.
• Water:
  • Keep the soil evenly moist, but ensure proper drainage to avoid waterlogging. Regular watering helps maintain the plant’s health and crisp leaf texture.
• Temperature & Humidity:
  • Thrives in warm, humid conditions. Ideal for indoor environments that mimic its tropical origins.
• Maintenance:
  • A light dusting of the leaves occasionally will help maximize light absorption and keep the plant looking its best.
