LIGHT

• Prefers bright, indirect light.

• Can tolerate medium to low light, but patterns may become less pronounced.

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

WATER

• Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.

• Water when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry.

• Use room-temperature water; filtered or rainwater is ideal to avoid leaf tip burn.

• Reduce watering slightly in winter.

SOIL

• Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.

• Add perlite for improved drainage and aeration.

• Avoid heavy soils that retain too much moisture.

HUMIDITY

• Prefers high humidity (50–70%).

• Mist regularly, use a humidity tray, or a humidifier.

• Low humidity can cause leaf curling, browning, or crispy edges.

GROWTH HABIT

• Low-growing, spreading perennial.

• Slow to moderate growth rate.

• Ideal for tables, shelves, or terrariums in filtered light.

PROPAGATION

• Propagate via stem cuttings in water or moist soil.

• Roots typically develop in 2–4 weeks in warm, humid conditions.

PRUNING & MAINTENANCE

• Remove yellow, damaged, or brown leaves.

• Pinching tips encourages bushier growth.

• Clean leaves occasionally with a damp cloth.

REPOTTING

• Repot every 1–2 years or when root-bound.

• Use a pot with drainage holes.

FERTILIZING

• Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.

• Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter.

FLOWERING

• Rare indoors; small, inconspicuous flowers may appear.

• Mainly grown for foliage.

TOXICITY

• Non-toxic to humans and pets.

PRO TIPS

• Keep away from drafts or sudden temperature changes.

• Rotate the plant periodically for even leaf growth.

• Nighttime leaf folding is normal and indicates a healthy circadian rhythm.

• Avoid letting soil completely dry out, as it can cause leaf curling or browning.
