Where’s it from?
This tropical gem comes from the understory of Central and South American rainforests, where it thrives in warm, humid conditions.
Watering
Keep the soil moist but not soggy—good drainage is key to preventing root rot! Water thoroughly when the top layer feels dry, but avoid letting it sit in water. In winter, let the soil dry out a bit more between waterings.
Light
Loves bright, indirect light! Too much sun? Leaves can scorch. Too little? It may get leggy, and its colors could fade. An east- or north-facing window is the sweet spot.
Humidity
This plant adores humidity! Aim for 60–80%, which means misting, a humidity tray, or even a terrarium can help keep it happy. Dry air = crispy leaf edges, so keep it away from drafts and radiators.
Temperature
Keep it warm and cozy—18°C to 24°C is perfect. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature drops, and don’t let it dip below 15°C, or it might struggle.
