☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to enhance its bold veining

• Can tolerate some gentle morning sun

• Avoid harsh midday rays, which can scorch the leaves

💧 Water

• Water when the top half of the soil feels dry

• Prefers to stay on the drier side — overwatering can cause root rot

• Use a chunky, airy mix (bark, perlite, coco coir) to promote airflow

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers moderate to high humidity (60%+)

• Adapts well to typical indoor levels, but higher humidity supports lush growth

• Mist occasionally, but avoid soaking the leaves

🍽️ Feeding

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

• Skip feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips
