Care Guide

Light

Bright, indirect light is ideal. Too little light can slow growth and reduce fenestration, while direct sun may scorch the leaves. A spot near a bright window with filtered light works best.

Water

Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Humidity

Prefers moderate to high humidity (60%+). While it can adapt to normal household conditions, higher humidity encourages healthier growth and larger leaves.

Temperature

Thrives in 18–28°C (65–82°F). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.

Soil

Use a well-draining, airy aroid mix—ideally containing bark, perlite, and coco coir or peat to promote strong root health.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Support

Provide a moss pole or vertical support to encourage mature growth and larger, more fenestrated leaves.

Maintenance

Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and help with photosynthesis. Trim only damaged or yellowing leaves as needed.
