General care

Pink Dragon Aurea needs bright indirect light, warm stable conditions, and an airy mix of coco coir, perlite, and bark. Protect the golden tissue from intense direct sun.

Water after the top 2 inches dry and allow the pot to drain completely. Bottom watering is recommended. Aim for 60–80% humidity while keeping air moving around the foliage.
