Light

• Bright indirect light is essential to maintain variegation.
• Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun — it can scorch the lighter sections.
• Too little light causes:
  • fading variegation
  • leggy growth
  • smaller leaves

An east-facing window or a few feet back from a south/west window works well.

Water

• Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.
• Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy.
• Variegated micans are more prone to root rot if overwatered.

A chunky aroid mix helps:

• potting soil
• orchid bark
• perlite/pumice
• optional coco chips

• Humidity: 60%+ ideally
• Temperature: 18–29°C (65–85°F)
