Care

• Light : Very bright, with a few hours of gentle sunlight. Strong light is essential to maintain intense colours.

• Watering : Regular. Keep the soil slightly moist but never waterlogged. Allow the surface of the soil to dry out between waterings.

• Temperature : Ideal between 20 and 28 °C. Sensitive to cold and sudden temperature changes.

• Substrate : Rich, well-draining potting soil for tropical plants.

• Humidity : Prefers high ambient humidity. Air that is too dry can cause leaves to drop.

• General care : Avoid drafts. Do not move the plant frequently. Clean the leaves to promote photosynthesis.
