Plant Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light for healthy growth and attractive coloration. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage.
- Water: Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Water thoroughly and allow excess moisture to drain; avoid leaving the roots in constantly soggy soil.
- Soil: Use a loose, nutrient-rich and well-draining aroid potting mix containing materials such as potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite.
- Humidity: Thrives in moderate to higher humidity but generally adapts to average household conditions. Good air circulation is beneficial.
- Temperature: Prefers warm conditions between approximately 18–29°C. Protect from cold drafts and prolonged temperatures below 13°C.
- Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted according to label directions. Reduce feeding during slower winter growth.
- Maintenance: Wipe the broad leaves periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. Rotate the plant occasionally to encourage balanced growth.
- Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves as needed and trim overly long growth to maintain the desired shape.
- Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots become crowded, using a slightly larger container with adequate drainage.
Note: Plant pot may vary in design from the product image. Most plants come in a one-time-use plastic grower pot.
