Plant Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light for strong growth and attractive foliage development. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
- Water: Keep the growing medium moderately moist while allowing the top 2–4 cm to dry slightly between waterings. Water thoroughly and allow excess moisture to drain completely.
- Soil: Use a chunky, airy, well-draining aroid mix containing materials such as orchid bark, perlite, coco coir, and quality potting mix. Good root aeration is especially important.
- Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity, ideally around 60–80%, combined with good air circulation.
- Temperature: Prefers warm conditions of approximately 18–28°C. Protect from cold drafts and prolonged temperatures below 15°C.
- Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during active growth with a balanced liquid houseplant or aroid fertilizer diluted according to label directions. Reduce feeding during slower growth.
- Maintenance: Gently wipe the textured foliage with a soft, damp cloth when necessary and provide adequate space around developing leaves. Maintain good airflow without exposing the plant to strong drafts.
- Pruning: Remove yellowing, damaged, or declining foliage near the base using clean tools. Extensive pruning is generally unnecessary.
- Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots become crowded, using a slightly larger container with excellent drainage and a fresh, airy aroid mix.
Note: Leaf texture, coloration, shape, size, and plant fullness may naturally vary from the product image, particularly as new foliage matures. Plant pot may also vary in design. Most plants come in a one-time-use plastic grower pot.
