Care Guide

Watering: Keep soil slightly moist in summer (water weekly). In winter, allow the top 3cm to dry between waterings. Mist leaves twice weekly in air-conditioned rooms.

Light: Best in bright, indirect light near east-facing windows. Tolerates medium light, though variegation may reduce. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which scorches leaves.

Humidity: Prefers 50%+ humidity; use a pebble tray if needed.

Temperature: Maintain 18–28°C — well-suited to air-conditioned Bangladeshi homes.

Maintenance: Wipe leaves monthly to maintain shine. Remove lower leaves to create a tree-like form, and cut back leggy stems to encourage bushiness.
