Care Instructions
Light
- Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its stunning variegation.
- Can tolerate medium light but may grow slower with reduced variegation.
- Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the delicate leaves.
Watering
- Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry to the touch.
- Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy, as overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Use filtered or distilled water if your tap water contains high levels of chlorine or fluoride.
Humidity
- Prefers high humidity (60-80%) for optimal growth.
- Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or misting to maintain appropriate levels.
Temperature
- Ideal temperature range is 65-85°F (18-29°C).
- Avoid cold drafts and keep it away from temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
Soil
- Use a well-draining soil mix rich in organic matter. A blend of potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite is ideal.
Fertilizer
- Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer.
- Reduce feeding during fall and winter when growth slows.
Repotting
- Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot.
- Use a container with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
Support
- Provide a moss pole or trellis for climbing, as the plant naturally grows as a climber.
Pruning
- Prune to remove yellow or damaged leaves and encourage bushier growth.
- Propagate healthy cuttings in water or soil to expand your collection.
Pest Management
- Inspect regularly for pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids.
- Treat infestations with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
