☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light
• Needs strong filtered light to maintain vibrant aurea variegation
• Avoid direct sun — golden areas can scorch easily
• Too little light may reduce variegation and slow growth

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, but never soggy
• Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings
• Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix
• Excellent drainage is essential to prevent root rot

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60–80%)
• Higher humidity encourages larger leaves and cleaner unfurling
• Warm, stable conditions support healthy growth
• Avoid cold draughts and sudden temperature changes

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 2–4 weeks during active growth
• Use a balanced diluted liquid fertiliser
• Reduce feeding during cooler months or dormancy

🌱 Quick Tips

• Variegated plants naturally grow more slowly than green forms
• Provide plenty of space as the plant matures
• Chunky, airy substrate helps maintain healthy roots
• Rotate regularly for balanced growth and even variegation
