*Please note that each plant’s variegation is unique. Variegation will increase with bright indirect light or from the use of grow lights.
Some plants are more variegated than others and colouring will change as the plant grows and matures. The image used is an example of this specific specie available.*

Key Care Requirements
Light:
Bright, indirect light is crucial. Direct sun will burn the leaves.
Watering:
Keep the soil lightly moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry, usually every 7-10 days.
Humidity & Temperature:
Prefers high humidity (above 60%). Ideal temperatures are 18-28°C (65-80°F).
Soil & Potting:
Use a well-draining mix containing coco coir/peat, perlite, and orchid bark. Repot every 1-2 years when the plant becomes root-bound.
Support:
Providing a moss pole or plank helps the plant mature and produces larger leaves.
Fertilizer:
Feed every 2-4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.
Maintenance:
Regularly clean leaves and check for pests like spider mites or thrips.
Variegation Tips:
The variegated form is slower-growing and requires brighter, indirect light compared to the non-variegated form. If the plant starts producing all-green leaves, it may need more light.
