☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Essential for maintaining vivid orange variegation

• Tolerates medium light but colours become greener

• Avoid direct harsh sun — pale/orange areas can burn

💧 Water

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

• Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy

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

• Overwatering = yellowing leaves

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers moderate humidity (50–70%)

• Adapts well to typical indoor conditions

• Slightly higher humidity = brighter variegation

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–28°C

• Keep away from drafts or cold windows

• Avoid temps below 15°C

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer

• Use a balanced, diluted fertilizer

• Pause feeding in winter

🌱 Growth Tips

• Upright, compact growth habit — perfect for shelves

• Rotate weekly for even colouring

• Trim green-only growth to preserve variegation

• Mildly toxic to pets
