Care Instructions:

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light to keep leaf pattern vibrant; tolerates medium light but avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn.
Soil Needs: Requires a well-draining loam- or peat-based potting mix with orchid bark and perlite for aeration.
Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity; mist occasionally or use a humidifier in dry environments.
Fertilizing: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves to maintain a neat appearance and encourage healthy new growth.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when roots crowd the pot to refresh soil and maintain plant health.

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.
