Care Guide 🪴

With a little love, your 'Magic Star' will flourish and remain a centerpiece in your collection:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the delicate leaves.
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy. Allow the top inch to dry before watering again.
• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity—perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, or grouped with other tropicals. Mist or use a humidifier if air is dry.
• Temperature: Keep between 65–80°F. Protect from drafts and cold air.
• Soil: A well-draining mix with peat, perlite, and organic matter keeps roots happy.
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer.
