Care Guide
-
Light: Bright, indirect light preferred; tolerates lower light but develops the most vibrant red coloration in brighter conditions — avoid direct sun which can scorch the leaves
-
Temperature: Intermediate to warm; ideal daytime temperatures 18–27°C (64–81°F), slightly cooler nights 15–21°C (59–70°F); protect from cold drafts
-
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged; allow the top inch to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot
-
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity, ideally 40–60%; use a humidity tray or mist regularly in drier indoor environments
-
Substrate: Well-draining, rich potting mix with good aeration; a blend of peat or coco coir with perlite works well
