☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its silver-gold contrast

• Can tolerate medium light, though colour may soften

• Avoid direct sun, which can scorch or fade its delicate tones

💧 Water

• Keep soil evenly moist, but not soggy

• Water when the top 2–3 cm feel dry

• Use a chunky, well-draining mix (bark, perlite, and coco coir) to protect roots

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60%+) to keep leaves plump and glossy

• Mist lightly or use a humidifier for best results

• Dry air can cause crisping along the edges

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer

• Pause feeding during autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Wipe leaves gently to enhance their metallic finish

• Rotate regularly for even light exposure

• Not pet-safe — keep away from cats and dogs
