Care Guide:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate partial shade but may lose some of its vibrant coloration in low light conditions.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain away.
- Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity levels. Mist the foliage regularly to maintain humidity, especially in dry indoor environments.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18°C to 24°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
- Soil: Well-draining potting mix with good aeration. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite is ideal.
- Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Pruning: Pinch back leggy growth regularly to encourage bushier growth and maintain a compact shape.
- Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings placed in moist soil or water.
- Caution: Keep out of reach of children and pets. While not considered highly toxic, ingestion may cause mild stomach upset.
