Plant Care Instructions

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to support healthy growth and attractive foliage coloration. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Allow the top 3–5 cm of soil to dry slightly before watering thoroughly. Let excess moisture drain completely and avoid keeping the root zone constantly wet.
• Soil: Use a loose, chunky, well-draining aroid mix containing materials such as quality potting soil, orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir.
• Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity, ideally around 50–70% or higher, combined with good air circulation.
• Temperature: Thrives at approximately 18–29°C. Protect from cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, and prolonged temperatures below 13°C.
• Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted according to label directions. Reduce feeding during slower winter growth.
• Maintenance: Gently wipe foliage with a soft, damp cloth when dusty. Because of its creeping growth habit, provide horizontal growing space and avoid burying the rhizome too deeply.
• Pruning: Remove yellowing, damaged, or declining leaves using clean tools. Extensive pruning is generally unnecessary.
• Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots become crowded. A wider container can provide additional room for the plant's creeping growth habit while maintaining good drainage.

Note: Foliage coloration, silver tones, leaf size, shape, and plant fullness may naturally vary from the product image. Plant pot may also vary in design. Most plants come in a one-time-use plastic grower pot.
