Plant Care

Light Requirements: Provide bright light with several hours of direct or filtered sunlight each day. Strong light helps maintain vibrant foliage color.

Water Requirements: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1–2 inches begin to dry and allow excess water to drain completely.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.

Soil: Use a rich, well-draining houseplant potting mix.

Temperature: Prefers temperatures around 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested. The plant's sap may also irritate the skin.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity.

Growth Habit: An upright, bushy tropical plant known for its dramatic, colorful foliage.
