☀️ Light
-
Bright, indirect light is essential
-
Strong light helps maintain pink variegation
-
Avoid direct sun — pale areas burn easily
-
Low light = greener leaves, slower growth
💧 Water
-
Keep soil lightly moist, never wet
-
Let the top 2–3 cm dry before watering
-
Use a very airy aroid mix (bark + perlite + pumice + coco coir)
-
Drooping = thirsty
-
Soft stems or yellowing = overwatering
🌫️ Humidity
-
Loves 65–85% humidity
-
Higher humidity keeps leaves plush and edges crisp
-
Ideal for cabinets or rooms with a humidifier
🌡️ Temperature
-
Best between 20–28°C
-
Avoid drafts and sudden temperature drops
-
Never below 16°C
🍽️ Feeding
-
Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring & summer
-
Use a diluted balanced or aroid fertiliser
-
Pause feeding in winter
🌱 Growth Tips
-
Naturally compact — perfect for smaller spaces
-
Pink variegation may vary from leaf to leaf (totally normal)
-
Wipe leaves gently to protect the velvet texture
-
May enter light dormancy in cooler months
-
Not pet-safe
