• Height: ~25 cm | Pot size: 12 cm

🌞 Light & Placement

Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain vivid spots and healthy growth. Avoid direct midday sun to prevent leaf burn.

💧 Water & Humidity

Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feel dry. Loves moderate to high humidity – ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, or with a humidifier nearby.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Plant in a rich, airy mix with good drainage, such as peat-based soil blended with perlite. Repot in spring when roots outgrow the pot.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

⚠️ Toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Fast-growing in warm, humid conditions. Propagate easily via stem cuttings placed in water or moist soil until roots develop.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

Reduce watering slightly in winter when growth slows. Wipe leaves gently to keep them free from dust and enhance their silvery shine.

🐛 Common Issues

• Leaf drop – often due to cold drafts or sudden environmental changes
• Crispy edges – low humidity or underwatering
• Powdery mildew – ensure good air circulation around foliage

🧬 Botanical Background
