Bright indirect light, especially if you want to maintain the variegation. | Bright indirect light - winter sun isn't as strong so it can handle more light. |

 |
Can tolerate average household temperatures and humidity. | Try to keep away from draughts and central heating. |
 |
Feed once a week or so in the growing season. | Do not feed in autumn or winter unless the plant is still actively growing. |
