Care Guide
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light causes the silver variegation to fade. ### Watering: Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. Leaves will curl slightly when thirsty. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. ### Temperature and Humidity: Keep between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Prefers higher humidity but adapts well to average household levels. ### Seasonal Tips: Reduce watering in winter. Keep away from cold drafts or heaters. ### Common Issues: Yellow leaves usually indicate overwatering. Brown tips may suggest low humidity.
