Plant Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. A little direct sun helps boost those colors, but avoid harsh afternoon rays.
💧 Water: Keep soil evenly moist—water when the top inch feels dry. Reduce watering in cooler months.
🌱 Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent soggy roots.
🌡 Temperature: Loves warmth—ideal range is 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep away from cold drafts or sudden chills.
🌿 Humidity: Enjoys a bit of humidity. Mist occasionally or place on a humidity tray to keep the leaves happy.
🍽 Feeding: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer.
✂️ Pruning: Trim back leggy growth or remove any faded leaves to encourage fullness.
