Foliage, flower color, and texture	Leaves are bright green, broadly ovate with a scalloped leaf margin. The sunken venation creates a quilted leaf texture.

Watering needs	Keep the soil evenly moist. Water thoroughly when the soil turns slightly dry.
Soil type and pH requirements	Prefers well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH around 6.5 to 7.0
Feeding and fertilizer needs	Feed with all-purpose organic fertilizer once a month to provide essential nutrients for healthy plant growth.
