• Humidity: Thrives in 60%+ humidity; ideal for plant cabinets or humid rooms
• Soil: Well-draining, airy mix to keep roots healthy
• Feeding: Fertilise every 4 weeks during the growing season
🛑 Top Tip: Variegated sections lack chlorophyll — too much shade can cause leaves to revert. Keep it in a bright spot for stable colour.
Note: Variegation is always unique — some plants will have bold splashes of cream, others subtler marbling.
