Prefers bright, indirect sunlight, but a little bit of early morning or late afternoon sunlight would be appreciated! Make sure it's not too low light where it's positioned as it will lose its beautiful leaf variegation.
Water when the top 25% layer of soil has dried out, and don't worry if you miss the odd watering, it will forgive you!
When watering, thoroughly soak the soil until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Discard any excess water in the saucer or decorative pot to prevent waterlogged roots.
It's important to adjust your watering routine based on the time of year and specific environmental conditions like humidity and temperature.
