Care Instructions:

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant variegation; can tolerate medium light but with reduced leaf color.
Soil Needs: Use a well-draining, rich potting mix with added perlite or bark for aeration.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Humidity: Average indoor humidity is fine; occasional misting can help during dry seasons.
Fertilizing: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning: Trim to maintain desired size and shape; remove any damaged or yellowing leaves.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when rootbound, refreshing soil to encourage healthy growth.

Please note: This plant comes in its grower’s nursery pot, ready for you to place in your favorite decorative pot at home. The pot in the picture is not included.
