☀️ Light
-
Thrives in bright, indirect light
-
Variegation becomes stronger and sharper with good light

💧 Water
-
Keep soil lightly moist, allowing the top 2–3 cm to dry between waterings
-
Use a chunky aroid mix (bark, perlite, coco coir, pumice)
-
Sensitive roots prefer consistent moisture + airflow
-
Overwatering can cause yellowing or mushy stems
🌫️ Humidity
-
Loves moderate to high humidity (60–80%)

Perfect near a humidifier, in a warm bathroom, or grouped with other plants
-
Dry air can cause crispy edges on variegated patches
🌡️ Temperature
-
Ideal range: 20–30°C

Keep away from cold drafts, AC vents, or temps below 16°C
-
Stable warmth helps sustain strong variegation
🍽️ Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted aroid fertilizer

No feeding during winter dormancy
🌱 Quick Tips
