Light: Medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which fades and scorches the leaf pattern.
Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60%+). Mist regularly, use a pebble tray, or place near a humidifier to prevent crispy leaf edges.
Temperature: Maintain 18–26°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Fertilizing: During the growing season (spring–summer), feed monthly with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer. Skip feeding in winter.
