Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light.

• Can tolerate low light, but the golden variegation may fade.

• Avoid direct harsh sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Water

• Water when the top 2 inches of soil are completely dry.

• In winter, reduce watering to once every 3–4 weeks.

• Always use a pot with drainage holes to prevent root rot.

Soil

• Use a well-draining mix, like cactus or succulent soil.

• You can improve drainage by adding perlite or coarse sand.

Temperature and Humidity

• Prefers temperatures between 65–85°F (18–29°C).

• Keep it away from cold drafts and frost.

• Average indoor humidity is fine; it’s quite tolerant.

Fertilizer

• Feed once a month during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer.

• No feeding needed in fall or winter.

Repotting

• Repot every 2–3 years or when roots start crowding the pot.

• Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.

Propagation

• Easily propagated by leaf cuttings or division of rhizomes.

• Allow cut ends to callous for a day or two before planting.

Common Problems

• Yellow leaves usually mean overwatering.

• Wrinkled leaves can indicate underwatering.

• Watch for root rot and mealybugs.
