Care Information:
Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Can tolerate lower light conditions but may result in slower growth and less variegation.
Water:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
Use well-draining soil to prevent root rot.
Humidity:
Thrives in high humidity environments. 
Use a humidifier or place the plant on a pebble tray filled with water to maintain optimal humidity levels. Placing it in a cabinet with good ventilation also helps. 
Temperature:
Prefers temperatures between 70-80°F (18-27°C).
Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Soil:
Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter.
See our Earth's Coir soilless potting medium (fine mix) for optimal growth. Avoid peat based mixes.
Fertilization:
Feed with a balanced, slow release fertilizer.
Reduce feeding in fall and winter when the plant's growth slows down.
Repotting:
Repot every 1-2 years in the spring to refresh the soil and provide more space for growth.
Choose a pot that is 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the current one. Keep in mind this is directional, some plants outgrow their pots sooner and may need repotting every 6 months or so.
