Light    The plant thrives best in a bright spot with plenty of indirect light. It can tolerate slightly lower light levels, but growth will be slower and the leaf colors less vibrant. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it’s best to avoid it.

Water    Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Watering about once a week is usually sufficient; in winter, it generally needs less water. Overwatering can lead to root rot. If the soil is still wet after a week, it may mean the plant isn’t getting enough light or the substrate isn't suitable.
