Here’s how to care for this exceptional plant:

1. **Light Requirements** 🌞:
   - Enjoys bright, indirect light to enhance its stunning variegation.
   - Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorching, but ensure it receives enough light to maintain its vibrant colors.

2. **Watering** 💧:
   - Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
   - Water thoroughly, letting excess water drain out to prevent root rot, and ensure the pot has adequate drainage.

3. **Humidity** 🌿:
   - Thrives in high humidity environments, ideally around 60-70%.
   - Boost humidity by misting the plant, using a humidifier, or placing it on a tray filled with water and pebbles.

4. **Temperature** 🌡️:
   - Prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
   - Avoid exposure to cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (15°C).

5. **Soil** 🌱:
   - Use a well-draining potting mix with organic matter.
   - A mixture of peat, perlite, and orchid bark provides the ideal balance of drainage and moisture retention.

6. **Fertilizing** 🌼:
   - Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer to support its growth.
   - Cut back on feeding during fall and winter when growth slows.

7. **Pruning and Maintenance** ✂️:
   - Trim any yellowing or damaged leaves to promote healthy growth and maintain the plant's appearance.
   - Clean the leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve photosynthesis.

8. **Repotting** 🪴:
   - Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its container.
   - Choose a pot that is slightly larger and has good drainage to accommodate growth.

9. **Pests and Problems** 🐛:
   - Inspect for common pests like spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs.
   - Treat infestations promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap to keep your plant healthy.
