☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Tolerates medium light but colours may soften

• Avoid direct sun — leaves burn easily

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, not soggy

• Let the top 1–2 cm dry between waterings

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

• Droopy leaves = thirsty

• Yellowing or mushy stems = overwatering

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers 50–70% humidity

• Avoid very dry air, which causes crisping

• Great for grouped plant shelves or small humidifiers nearby

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–26°C

• Keep away from drafts and cold windows

• Never below 15°C

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring & summer

• Use a diluted balanced fertilizer

• Skip feeding in winter

🌱 Growth Tips

• Avoid watering on the leaves — can cause spotting

• Remove older leaves to keep plants tidy and compact

• Very easy to propagate from leaf cuttings

• Pet-safe? No — keep away from pets
