☀️ Light

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

💧 Water

• Allow the top half of the soil to dry out between waterings
• Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away
• Use a chunky, airy aroid mix with excellent drainage
• Avoid constantly wet roots

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers moderate to high humidity (60–80%)
• Higher humidity encourages larger leaves and clean unfurling
• Warm, stable conditions promote steady growth

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during active growth
• Use a balanced diluted liquid fertiliser
• Reduce feeding during cooler months

🌱 Quick Tips

• Benefits from a moss pole or sturdy support as it matures
• Variegated plants naturally grow more slowly than green forms
• Bright orange petioles become even more striking as the plant grows
• Rotate occasionally for balanced growth
