Care Instructions
- Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some gentle direct sun, which encourages stronger burgundy colouration. Lower light will result in greener foliage.
- Watering: Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid prolonged dryness or waterlogging.
- Soil: Use a well-draining mix. Ensure adequate airflow around the roots.
- Temperature & Growth Cycle: Grows actively in warm seasons. May slow down or become less full in cooler months. Resume regular care as new growth appears.
Note: Colour intensity will be strongest in brighter light. Lower light conditions may produce softer or greener tones.
