## CARE GUIDE
### Light
Place in bright, indirect light; avoid intense afternoon sun, which may scorch leaves. Rotate the plant and dust leaves regularly for even, vibrant growth.
### Water
Keep the potting mix slightly moist but let the top 1‑2 inches dry before watering. Water thoroughly and allow excess to drain; reduce watering in winter.
### Humidity
Thrives in moderate to high humidity (50‑80%). Use a pebble tray, humidifier, or mist the leaves in dry environments.
### Soil & Potting
Use a nutrient‑rich, well‑draining tropical mix with peat, perlite, and bark. Repot annually as the plant grows, ensuring the container has drainage holes.
### Fertilizer
Feed during spring and summer with a balanced or nitrogen‑rich liquid fertilizer at half strength every 4‑6 weeks. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
### Temperature
Maintain warm indoor temperatures between 65‑80°F and avoid drafts. Do not expose to temperatures below 55°F.
