Care Guide
- Light: Bright indirect light; avoid direct midday sun. More light intensifies the purple and silver variegation.
- Water: Water when the top 1–2" of soil is dry. Highly sensitive to overwatering — ensure excellent drainage.
- Humidity: Prefers 60–80% humidity. Use a humidifier or pebble tray for best results.
- Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C). Keep away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents.
- Soil: Well-draining aroid mix (perlite, bark, and coco coir recommended).
- Fertilizer: Balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength every 2–4 weeks during active growth (spring–summer).
- Repotting: Every 1–2 years or when rootbound; move up only one pot size.
- Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach.
