☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light
• Needs strong filtered light to maintain vibrant variegation
• Avoid direct sun — white variegated areas can scorch easily
• Too little light may 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 leaving the roots sitting in wet soil

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers moderate to high humidity (60–80%)
• Higher humidity encourages larger leaves and cleaner unfurling
• Warm, stable conditions promote healthy growth
• Good airflow helps keep foliage healthy

🍽️ Feeding

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

🌱 Quick Tips

• Rotate regularly to encourage even growth
• Wipe leaves occasionally to keep the glossy foliage looking its best
• Variegated plants naturally grow more slowly than green forms
• Repot only when roots begin to outgrow the pot
