☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Essential for maintaining strong creamy variegation

• Can handle gentle morning sun

• Avoid harsh midday sun — pale areas scorch easily

💧 Water

• Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil are dry

• Prefers evenly moist soil but not soggy

• Use a well-draining aroid mix (bark, perlite, coco coir)

• Overwatering = yellowing leaves or root rot risk

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers moderate to high humidity (55–75%)

• Humidity boosts help new leaves unfurl cleanly

• Dry air may cause brown edges on white patches

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 20–28°C

• Keep away from drafts and temps below 16°C

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer

• Use a balanced aroid fertilizer at half strength

• No feeding in winter

🌱 Growth Tips

• Provide a moss pole for larger, more dramatic leaves

• Rotate weekly for balanced variegation

• Trim fully green shoots to maintain patterning

• Mildly toxic — keep away from pets

• Slow but steady grower
