Plant Care Guide
Light:
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and dull the markings.
Watering:
Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Do not let it dry out completely.
Humidity:
Prefers moderate to high humidity. Low humidity may cause leaf edges to brown or curl.
Temperature:
Thrives between 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Soil:
Use a well-draining, rich potting mix with good moisture retention.
Feeding:
Feed every 2–4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser.
