Care Plan

Light

Prefers bright indirect light or filtered sunlight. Outdoors, protect from harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch. Indoors, place in a bright well-lit position for best foliage colour.

Watering

Keep soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top layer of soil begins to dry slightly. Avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely for long periods.

Humidity

Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Increased humidity helps maintain lush healthy foliage and vibrant colouration.

Temperature

Prefers warm temperatures between 18°C and 30°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C.

Soil

Requires a rich, well-draining potting mix with good moisture retention. A premium indoor plant mix with added perlite or coco coir is ideal.

Fertilising

Feed regularly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser to support strong healthy growth and vibrant foliage colour. Reduce feeding during winter.

Growth Habit

An upright clumping tropical plant that gradually develops into a lush architectural feature.
