☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light
• Strong filtered light encourages bold foliage and healthy growth
• Avoid direct sun — leaves can scorch easily
• Medium light is tolerated, but growth may slow

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, but never soggy
• Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings
• Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix
• Excellent drainage is essential to prevent root rot

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60–80%)
• Higher humidity encourages larger leaves and cleaner unfurling
• Warm, stable temperatures produce the healthiest growth
• Avoid cold draughts and sudden temperature changes

🍽️ Feeding

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

🌱 Quick Tips

• Benefits from a chunky, airy substrate to keep roots healthy
• May become dormant during cooler months—reduce watering if growth stops
• Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and keep them looking their best
• Rotate regularly for balanced growth
