🌤️ Light

Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vivid color. Can adapt to medium light, though leaves may appear greener. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch its foliage.

💧 Water

Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Ensure excellent drainage and never allow the plant to sit in standing water.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Thrives in warm, humid conditions—ideal range: 65–85°F (18–29°C). Loves humidity above 50%; mist occasionally or place near a humidifier.

🌿 Soil
