Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves and fade patterns.

Water

Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Use filtered or distilled water to prevent leaf tip browning from tap water chemicals.

Thrives in warm temperatures (18–27°C) with high humidity. Mist leaves or use a humidifier regularly.

Soil & Potting

Well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. Keep slightly acidic for best growth.

Fertilizing

Feed every 4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer at half strength.

Pruning & Maintenance

Trim yellow or damaged leaves to maintain appearance. Rotate pot for even growth.

Propagation

Best propagated through division during repotting. Separate healthy clumps with roots and replant.
