Key Features:

- Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions, making it ideal for indoor spaces with minimal natural light.
- Watering: Water moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

Care Tips:
- Plant in a well-draining potting mix and ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
- Place in a location with bright, indirect light for optimal leaf coloration, but it can still thrive in low-light areas, though growth may slow.
- Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and reduce watering in the cooler months when the plant’s growth slows down.
- Wipe the leaves regularly to keep them clean and enhance their rich, dark color.
- Fertilize once a month during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer to promote healthy growth and vivid foliage color.
