Where It Belongs
Pair with matte white or sand-toned planters for a clean, gallery feel. Its pale marbling lightens darker vignettes and adds height without overwhelming small spaces.
Light & Room Conditions
Prefers soft daylight—an east window or a bright spot behind sheer curtains works beautifully. Protect from harsh midday rays to keep the cream sectors crisp. Typical indoor humidity (≈50–65%) and temperatures of 18–29 °C (65–85 °F) suit it well.
Water & Substrate Guide
Moisten when the top layer of the mix has dried back; allow runoff to drain freely. Use a well-draining, airy blend (bark + pumice/perlite + coco with a light sphagnum buffer) to keep roots oxygenated and leaves sturdy.
Nutrition & Upkeep
Feed lightly (¼–½ strength) during active months; reduce in cooler periods. Quarter-turn the pot every couple of weeks so stems stay straight and the canopy fills evenly.
Settle-In Notes
After placement, increase light gradually over 10–14 days. New leaves typically show the sharpest cream patterning and a tidy, upright stance.
