☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light

• Can tolerate moderate light, but too little dims the pattern

• Avoid direct sunlight—it can fade or burn the leaves

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry

• Use filtered, rain, or distilled water to avoid mineral damage

🌡️ Humidity & Temperature

• Thrives in high humidity (60% or higher)

• Ideal temp: 18–26°C (65–78°F)

• Avoid cold drafts and dry air—consider a humidifier in air-conditioned spaces

🌱 Soil & Potting

• Use a well-draining, airy mix (peat/coco coir + perlite)

• Pot must have good drainage

• Repot every 1–2 years to refresh soil and accommodate growth

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during growing season (spring–summer)

• Use a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer

• Skip fertilizing during winter

✂️ Maintenance

• Remove damaged or yellowing leaves for plant health

• Gently wipe leaves to maintain shine and detail

• Propagate via division when repotting
