Keep the plant in a location with bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can cause the leaves to turn yellow and the plant to wilt.

Keep the plant in a location with high humidity, as Graphtophyllum pictum thrives in humid environments. You can increase the humidity around the plant by misting it regularly or by placing it on a humidity tray.
-
Be sure to repot the plant every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and give it room to grow. When repotting, use a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one and be sure to use a well-draining potting mix.
