☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Handles medium light, though variegation becomes lighter or patchier

• Avoid harsh direct sun — white sections burn quickly

💧 Water

• Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil are dry

• Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy

• Use a well-draining aroid mix (soil + bark + perlite)

• Yellowing = likely overwatering

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers moderate humidity (50–70%)

• Tolerant of average household air

• A bit of extra humidity encourages larger leaves

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–28°C

• Keep away from cold drafts or temps below 15°C

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer

• Use a balanced fertilizer at half strength

• Pause feeding in winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Grows beautifully on a moss pole or small trellis

• Can also trail if left unstaked

• Rotate regularly for even variegation

• Mildly toxic — keep away from pets

• Great for desks, shelves, and narrow plant spaces
