Plant Care Guide
Light:
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the leaves and reduce colour intensity.
Watering:
Keep soil lightly moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid letting the plant dry out completely.
Humidity:
Prefers moderate to high humidity. Dry air may cause leaf edges to crisp or curl further.
Temperature:
Best kept between 18–26°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Soil:
Use a well-draining, rich potting mix that retains some moisture.
Feeding:
Feed every 2–4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser.
