Care Guide

🌡️ Temperature

• Optimal range: 18-28°C (64-82°F)

• Winter care: Keep above 10°C (50°F); growth stalls below 15°C—avoid fertilizing in cool seasons.

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright indirect light (east/north windows).

• Summer: Shield from direct sun to prevent leaf scorch.

• Winter: Tolerates full sunlight; avoid dim corners to maintain vibrant variegation.

💧 Watering

• Golden rule: Let soil dry to 30% between waterings.

• Use the bottom-watering method for beginners to prevent overwatering.

• Winter: Reduce watering frequency (moisture + cold = root rot!).

🌱 Soil Mix

• Ideal blend: 3 parts peat moss + 1 part leaf mold + 1 part perlite.

• Pro tip: Add coarse vermiculite for ceramic pots to boost drainage.

🌿 Fertilizing

• Feed monthly in growing seasons with balanced NPK liquid fertilizer (10-10-10).

• Warning: Excess nitrogen fades those iconic watermelon stripes!

Propagation Tips

🍃 Leaf Cutting Magic:

1. When: Spring/early summer (22-25°C).

2. How: Slice healthy leaves vertically, plant in 50% peat + 50% vermiculite mix.

3. Aftercare: Maintain high humidity with plastic cover; roots sprout in 4-6 weeks.
