Key Features:

1. Foliage: Lance-shaped leaves with striking variegation. The upper side features a mix of green, white, and cream, while the undersides are a rich burgundy or magenta, creating a dramatic contrast.

2. Growth Habit: Upright and bushy, forming a dense clump of foliage that adds height and texture to any space.

3. Size: Typically grows to about 60-90 cm (2-3 feet) tall indoors, with a similar spread.

Care Tips:

1. Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while low light may reduce variegation. Place near an east- or north-facing window for the best results.

2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Use filtered or distilled water to avoid mineral buildup, as the plant is sensitive to salts.

3. Humidity: Requires high humidity (60-80%). Mist the plant regularly, use a humidifier, or place it near a pebble tray filled with water to mimic its native environment.

4. Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 18-26°C (65-80°F). Protect from drafts and temperatures below 13°C (55°F).

5. Soil: Needs well-draining soil. A mix of potting soil, peat moss, and perlite or sand is ideal for maintaining moisture balance.

6. Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can damage the plant.

7. Pruning: Trim off any brown or damaged leaves to maintain its appearance and encourage healthy growth.

Additional Notes:

Movement: As a member of the prayer plant family, its leaves fold upward in the evening and spread out during the day, creating dynamic movement.

Propagation: Best propagated through division during repotting. Gently separate the root clumps and replant them in fresh soil.

Pests: May occasionally attract spider mites, mealybugs, or aphids. Regularly inspect and clean the leaves to prevent infestations.

Toxicity: Non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for households with animals.
