Care Guide

🌤️ Light

Thrives in bright to medium indirect light. The silver stripes are most vivid in brighter conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade and scorch the leaves.

💧 Water

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry, typically every 1–2 weeks. Reduce watering in winter. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.

🌡️ Temperature

Prefers temperatures between 65–85°F (18–29°C). Keep away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

🌫️ Humidity

Loves humidity! Aim for 50–60% or higher. Mist the leaves occasionally, place near a humidifier, or set on a pebble tray with water to boost moisture levels.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Use a rich, well-draining potting mix — a blend of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark works well. Repot every 1–2 years in spring when roots start to outgrow the pot.

🌿 Fertilizing

Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. No feeding needed in fall and winter.

✂️ Pruning

Trim any yellowing or damaged leaves at the base to keep the plant looking its best and encourage healthy new growth.

⚠️ Toxicity

Toxic to cats, dogs, and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children.
