🌱 How to Grow
1. Light Preferences ☀️🌤️
Prefers bright, indirect sunlight or partial shade.
In full sun, its colors are more vibrant, but in hot climates, some afternoon shade helps prevent leaf scorching.
2. Soil Requirements 🌿🌱
Thrives in well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil.
Adding organic compost enriches the soil and promotes healthy growth.
3. Watering Needs 💧🌸
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy during the growing season.
Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering.
4. Temperature and Humidity 🌡️💨

Prefers high humidity but tolerates average indoor levels. In dry climates, occasional misting helps.
5. Fertilization 🌿✨
Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage blooming.
Reduce feeding in the winter when growth slows.
6. Pruning and Maintenance ✂️🌼
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage bushy growth.
Remove dead or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy.
7. Hardiness Zones ❄️☀️
