Care Guide:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant colors and healthy growth. Can tolerate lower light levels but may grow more slowly. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
- Water: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil slightly moist but never soggy. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60–80%), but will tolerate average household humidity. Increase humidity with regular misting or by placing a humidifier nearby.
- Temperature: Loves warm conditions between 20–30°C.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as aroid soil or a mix of peat, perlite, and orchid bark.
- Fertilizer: Feed monthly with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.
- Pruning: Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking its best. Prune lightly to encourage bushier growth.
- Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one.
