Key Care Guidelines
Light: The plant requires bright, indirect sunlight ; inadequate light can cause faded colors and leggy growth, while direct sun can burn the leaves.Watering: Maintain consistently moist soil, but ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot. Water when the top inch of soil is dry, reducing frequency in winter.Temperature & Humidity: It thrives in average room temperatures (60–75°F or 15–24°C) and benefits from higher humidity, which can be achieved through misting or pebble trays.Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, potentially improved with perlite or coarse sand.Fertilization: Fertilize with a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during spring and summer, avoiding feeding in fall and winter.Pruning: Prune regularly to promote bushier growth and prevent legginess by pinching or trimming tips and weak growth.Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when root-bound, using a slightly larger pot. Key care requirements involve providing ample bright, indirect light and keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
