Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Partial sun or bright filtered light is best. Too much direct sun can dull color or scorch leaves.

• Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained, organic soil. Slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal. Add compost for vigor.

• Fertilizer: Feed 2–3 times annually with a balanced foliage fertilizer. Micronutrients help preserve deep coloration.
