☀️ Light

• Too little light will make colours fade to dull maroon

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, watering when the top 2–3 cm feel dry

• Use a well-draining mix to prevent soggy roots

• Never let it fully dry out — it likes consistency

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers moderate humidity (50%+) but adapts well to normal indoor air

• Mist occasionally to keep leaves fresh and vibrant

🍽️ Feeding

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

• Reduce feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips
