Care Guide

Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light
• Needs good light to maintain strong variegation and copper tones
• Can tolerate medium light, but growth may slow and coloring may fade
• Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch leaves

Water

• Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry
• Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy
• Ensure pot has excellent drainage to prevent root rot

Humidity

• Prefers moderate to high humidity
• Adapts to average indoor humidity but grows best with added moisture
• Higher humidity encourages larger, healthier leaves

Toxicity

• Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested
• Keep out of reach of pets and small children
