Sunlight Full to partial sunlight Watering water moderately Soil Moist, well-drained soil. Temperature 20 to 30 degree C Fertilizer Apply any organic fertilizer to plant. Potting: Plants do not need any special type of potting soil. Being tropical natives, they do well in any well-drained potting soil, rich with organic material. Use a mix of coco-peat, compost, and sand in a 20:60:20 ratio.
Watering: Overwatering is the chief cause of disease or loss of plant life. Do ensure that you don't overwater them. To get plants to show off their richly colored leaves, it is best to wipe them clean with moist tissue or cloth once every month. In drier months, misting them a few times a week could help improve humidity around the plant, helping them flourish.
Fertilising: Feeding your Plant a few times a year is a good way to get them to stay healthy. Give them some organic liquid fertilizer once or twice a year. Dilute it in water as described on the pack and add a little to each pot as part of your watering routine. If you are using a chemical fertiliser do ensure that you keep it away from the plant and its base.
Light:As a tropical plant that grows in the humid bright shade of tropical forests, this plant prefers similar conditions when grown as a houseplant. It dislikes full sunlight, preferring bright, indirect sun, such as that offered by north-facing windows. It will also thrive under fluorescent lights.

I call it little pot of pure happiness.As I said, the plant was healthy and super cute. Also, it started to blossom new little leaves within 15 days.Care Instructions - It requires little to least attention. Needs very little amount water every in 4-5 days and gives unlimited amount of happy vibes throughout the day.A must have for a happy home!
