Plant Category: Indoor Tropical Houseplant / Air Purifier

Typical Plant Size: Usually sold as a live plant between 12 to 24 inches tall (without pot).

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch leaves, and too little light which fades variegation. Soft morning or late afternoon sun is ideal.

• Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Overwatering can cause root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage. Reduce watering in winter.

• Soil: Requires well-draining, aerated potting soil enriched with organic matter. Adding perlite improves drainage.

• Temperature and Humidity: Thrives in 65-80°F (18-27°C). Prefers moderate humidity; occasional misting or a pebble water tray helps in dry conditions. Avoid cold drafts and extreme temperatures.

• Fertilization: Feed lightly with balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during growing seasons; avoid overfertilizing to prevent root burn.

• Pruning: Remove yellow or dead leaves and trim leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.

• Maintenance: Dust leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to keep them shiny and healthy. Rotate the plant periodically for even growth.

• Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings placed in water or soil.

This adaptable, low-maintenance plant is perfect for adding vibrant foliage and a tropical feel to any indoor space.
