Plant Care
Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves.
Water: Keep the soil lightly moist, allowing the top 2–3 cm to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during winter.
Humidity: Loves high humidity. Regular misting, a humidifier, or a pebble tray will help maintain healthy foliage.
Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 18–28°C. Protect from cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C.
Soil: A well-draining aroid mix containing bark, perlite, and coco coir or peat works best.
Feeding: Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser.
