Well-draining peat-based mix with perlite or orchid bark for aeration; slightly acidic pH.
Water when top 2-3cm soil is dry; sensitive to fluoride/chloride so use filtered water; reduce in winter dormancy.
Prefers bright indirect light to maintain variegation; tolerates low light but avoid direct sun which scorches leaves.
Apply diluted liquid fertilizer monthly during spring/summer growing season; withhold in autumn/winter.
Remove brown leaf tips and dead foliage promptly; trim leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.
