☀️ Light Requirements

To preserve and maximize the breathtaking creamy-yellow variegation, provide consistent bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct, harsh afternoon sun which can easily scorch the delicate variegated tissue. If natural light is limited, professional grow lights are highly recommended.
