1. Light: It thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Bright indirect light helps maintain and enhance the pink coloring on the leaves.
2. Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 18–27°C (64–81°F). Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 10°C (50°F) and keep it away from cold drafts or strong airflow.
3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. During winter, reduce watering as the plant’s growth slows down.
4. Humidity: Requires high humidity. You can increase humidity by using a humidifier or placing the plant on a tray filled with pebbles and water.
5. Fertilizing: Feed the plant with a balanced, diluted fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the active growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in winter.
6. Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a blend of regular potting soil with perlite or activated charcoal. This helps prevent root rot and improves aeration.
7. Air circulation: Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent mold and disease.
8. Cleaning: Wipe the leaves regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep the plant healthy.
