Native to tropical regions, the Conjo Rojo thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps to enhance the red coloration of its young leaves. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may not show its full vibrancy without sufficient light. Adequate light in crucial to maintaining the reddish hue coloration.
