Plant Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
💧 Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
🌱 Soil: Well-draining potting mix is ideal. A peat-based mix with added perlite or sand works best for this plant.
🌡 Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60°F–80°F (16°C–27°C). Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
🧰 Maintenance: Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's neat appearance. Prune regularly to encourage bushier growth.
📏 Size: Typically grows to 18-24 inches tall indoors, making it perfect for smaller spaces while still offering vibrant, eye-catching foliage.
