☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Essential for maintaining the minty tone and defined texture

• Avoid direct sun — sensitive leaves can scorch

• Medium light tolerated but slows growth

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, never soggy

• Allow the top 2 cm to dry between waterings

• Use an airy aroid mix (bark + perlite + coco coir + pumice)

• Drooping = thirsty

• Yellowing or softness = too wet

🌫️ Humidity

• Loves high humidity (60–85%)

• Perfect for plant cabinets, terrariums, or grouped shelves

• Dry air may cause edge crisping

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 20–28°C

• Avoid drafts or cold windows

• Never below 16°C

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring & summer

• Use a diluted aroid or balanced fertilizer

• Skip feeding in winter

🌱 Growth Tips

• Mini size = extra sensitive to underwatering and overwatering

• Leaves will size up beautifully as it matures

• May enter light dormancy in winter — water less and be patient

• Not pet-safe

• Wipe leaves gently to highlight its textured sheen
