Care:
Lighting: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation. Can tolerate partial sun outdoors, but too much direct sunlight may scorch leaves.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer of soil to slightly dry between watering.
Soil: Well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix.
Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions (18–30°C). Protect from cold temperatures and frost.
Maintenance: Regular pinching or pruning encourages bushier growth. Fertilize lightly during the growing season to support vibrant foliage color.
