Plant Care Instructions

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to encourage healthy growth and vibrant new foliage. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Allow the top 2–4 cm of soil to dry before watering thoroughly. Let excess water drain completely and avoid keeping the roots constantly wet.
• Soil: Use a loose, airy, well-draining aroid mix containing materials such as quality potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite.
• Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity but generally adapts well to average household conditions. Good air circulation helps support healthy foliage.
• Temperature: Thrives at approximately 18–29°C. Protect from cold drafts and prolonged temperatures below 13°C.
• Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted according to label directions. Reduce feeding during periods of slower growth.
• Maintenance: Wipe the foliage gently with a soft, damp cloth when dusty and rotate the plant periodically to encourage balanced growth and even light exposure.
• Pruning: Minimal pruning is required due to its naturally compact growth habit. Remove yellowing, damaged, or declining leaves near the base using clean tools.
• Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots become crowded, moving into a slightly larger container with adequate drainage.

Note: Foliage color and intensity may naturally vary depending on maturity, growing conditions, and light exposure. Plant pot may also vary in design from the product image. Most plants come in a one-time-use plastic grower pot.
