The leaves are usually green with white, pink, red, or silver veins, giving it a decorative patterned look. It is native to tropical rainforests of South America and thrives in warm, humid environments.

Plant Care
1. Light
•Prefers bright, indirect sunlight.
•Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch leaves.
•Can tolerate lower light, but colors may fade.
2. Watering
•Keep soil slightly moist, not soggy.
•Water when the top layer feels just dry.
•If leaves droop dramatically, it often needs water (they usually recover quickly after watering).
3. Humidity
•Loves high humidity.
•Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, or near a humidifier.
•Mist occasionally if air is dry.
4. Temperature
•Best between 18–26°C.
•Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.
5. Soil
•Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter.
6. Fertilizer
•Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
7. Pruning
•Pinch back stems to keep it bushy and compact.
•Remove yellow or damaged leaves.
