Care Tips:

To maintain its stunning tricolour appearance, provide ample lighting and a well-balanced nutrient supply. Regular trimming helps prevent older leaves from overshadowing new growth. This species adapts well to various conditions, but maintaining stable water parameters will ensure optimal health.
