Care Guide 

Slightly more particular than some houseplants, but very rewarding with the right conditions.

Light | Prefers bright, indirect light. Too little light can dull the leaf pattern; avoid direct sun.

Water | Keep the soil lightly moist. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings, but don’t let it dry out completely.

Temperature | Keep the soil lightly moist. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings, but don’t let it dry out completely.

Maintenance | Moderate. Appreciates higher humidity — misting or a bathroom setting suits it well.

Good to know | With the right care, it may produce striking yellow flower bracts, adding another layer of interest.
