Flowering Season: N/A 

Planting Media: Soilrite mix would be a perfect planting medium for all kinds of plants.  If required pebbles (1-1.5cm) can be added to the mix to make sure the planting medium is well drained.

Water: Water thoroughly when the first inch of the soil becomes dry to the touch, stopping when water starts draining from the drainage holes. Avoid overwatering as roots are susceptible to rot.

Sunlight: It likes a lot of diffused light, but direct sunlight will cause the leaves to fade and lose its precious markings. Because it grows on the canopy floor, it can tolerate shade, but it grows much better with indirect light.
