Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Variegated sections contain less chlorophyll, so adequate light is essential. Avoid direct afternoon sun.
• Water: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Ensure drainage and never allow the plant to sit in standing water.
• Humidity: Prefers 60%+ humidity. A humidifier, pebble tray, or naturally humid room will support optimal growth.
• Temperature: Thrives between 65°F and 85°F (18°C – 29°C). Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F.
• Soil: Well-draining, chunky aroid mix — potting soil, perlite, orchid bark, and horticultural charcoal.
• Fertilizer: Balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength every 2–4 weeks during the growing season (spring through early fall).
• Support: Benefits from a moss pole or trellis as it matures. Vertical support encourages larger leaf development.
• Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots emerge from drainage holes. Choose a pot only 1–2 inches larger.
