Care

• Light : Bright indirect light; tolerates medium light but maintains its best color in good brightness.
• Watering : Water moderately and allow the surface of the substrate to dry between waterings; avoid excess water and stagnation.
• Humidity : Likes moderate to high humidity; too dry air can dull foliage.
• Temperature : between 18 and 24°C; avoid prolonged low temperatures.
• Substrate : light, well-draining mix, enriched with perlite or other porous elements.

Special advice

• Fertilize lightly in spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertilizer.
• Repot only when the plant becomes cramped, as it grows slowly.
• Non-toxic plant for humans and animals.
