☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light
• Strong filtered light encourages healthy, compact growth
• Avoid direct sun — leaves can scorch easily
• Too little light may slow growth and reduce leaf size

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, but never soggy
• Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings
• Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix
• Avoid leaving the roots sitting in water

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60–80%)
• Higher humidity encourages healthy new growth and easier unfurling
• Keep warm and away from cold drafts

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 2–4 weeks during active growth
• Use a balanced diluted liquid fertiliser
• Reduce feeding during cooler months or dormancy

🌱 Quick Tips

• Compact size makes it ideal for shelves and display cabinets
• Chunky, airy substrate helps prevent root issues
• May go dormant if temperatures drop significantly
• Stable conditions produce the healthiest foliage
