Cultivation Guidelines:
Illumination: Bright, indirect light is essential for vibrant variegation and healthy growth. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaves.
Irrigation: Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering can cause leaf dehydration.

Substrate Composition: Use a well-draining aroid mix that provides adequate aeration and moisture retention.

Fertilization: Feed during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
