☀️ Light

• Needs bright, indirect light to maintain vivid colors

• Tolerates some direct morning sun, but avoid harsh afternoon rays

• Too little light = leaf drop + fading color

💧 Watering

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

• Keep soil moist but never soggy

• Leaf drop is a common sign of under- or over-watering

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal temp: 18–28°C (65–82°F)

• Needs moderate to high humidity

• Keep away from cold drafts or temperatures below 15°C (59°F)

🌱 Soil & Potting

• Use a rich, well-draining soil mix

• Ensure pot has drainage holes

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

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed monthly during spring to early autumn

• Use a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted

• Reduce feeding during cooler months

✂️ Maintenance & Propagation

• Prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage bushiness

• Clean leaves occasionally to remove dust

• Propagate using stem cuttings in a warm, humid environment

⚠️ Toxicity

  Keep away from pets and small children 🐾
