- Indoor Care Guide
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch its delicate leaves and fade their colors. - Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch feels dry. Use filtered or distilled water to avoid leaf damage from tap water chemicals.
- Humidity: Loves high humidity (50–60%). Use a humidifier or group it with other plants to boost moisture levels.
- Temperature: Ideal range is 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep away from drafts, heaters, or air conditioners.
- Soil: Use a well-draining mix—potting soil with perlite, orchid bark, and peat moss works well.
- Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertilizer. Skip feeding in winter.
- Pruning: Trim yellow or damaged leaves with clean scissors to maintain its lush appearance.
- Repotting: Every 1–2 years or when root-bound. Choose a pot just slightly larger than the current one.
