Care Guide:

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light but will lose some variegation. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering: Water when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity but adapts well to normal household conditions. Occasional misting can help during dry seasons.

Temperature: Grows best in 18–27°C (65–80°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

Soil & Feeding: Use a well-draining potting mix. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer.

Growth Habit: Can grow up to 1.5m (5 feet) indoors, forming a bushy or tree-like shape with pruning.

Toxicity: Mildly toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of curious cats and dogs.
