Set the light correctly

Aim for bright, indirect light near an east facing window or a bright interior spot with filtered sun. Too little light slows growth and reduces fenestration. Too much direct sun can scorch the variegation, especially white or mint sectors.

Water on a rhythm that works

Let the top couple of inches of mix dry, then water deeply until excess drains. In active growth this may be weekly in brighter rooms and less often in lower light. Yellowing leaves with wet soil signal overwatering, while limp leaves that perk up after a drink indicate the plant was thirsty.

Soil and pot choice

Use a well draining, chunky mix. Pair with a pot that has drainage holes. Keep pot size slightly snug and size up gradually to maintain healthy wet dry cycles.

Humidity and temperature

Normal home humidity typically works, though 50 to 60 percent helps keep large leaves pristine. Temperatures in the upper 60s to upper 70s Fahrenheit are ideal. Keep away from cold air returns and exterior doors in winter.

Nutrition and growth support

Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertilizer. Train the plant on a moss pole or trellis to encourage larger, more perforated leaves. Wipe leaves monthly to remove dust and support photosynthesis.

Pruning and propagation

Prune to shape or to manage size by cutting above a node. Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node and healthy tissue. Root in water or an airy substrate and keep in bright, indirect light.

Common questions

Why are my leaves not splitting yet
Juvenile plants need time, consistent bright light, and a vertical support to develop natural fenestrations.

Will the mint pattern revert
Variegation is more expressive in brighter indirect light. Maintain good light and steady nutrition to keep contrast visible.

Can it live in low light
It can survive in medium to lower light but will grow more slowly and may produce fewer splits. Move it to a brighter location for best results.
