Care Plan

Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate medium light but will grow more slowly. Avoid direct sun, which may scorch the leaves.

Water:
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil becomes dry. Maintain consistent moisture without allowing the plant to sit in water. Reduce watering during cooler months.

Humidity:
Thrives in high humidity (60–80%). Will benefit from regular misting or placement near a humidifier, especially in drier indoor environments.

Temperature:
Ideal temperature range is 18–28°C. Avoid exposure to temperatures below 15°C and protect from cold drafts.

Soil:
Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix that includes components such as orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. Good aeration is key to preventing root rot.

Fertiliser:
Feed monthly during the growing season (spring through early autumn) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser.

Growth Habit:
Moderately fast-growing in the right conditions. Can develop into a large, dramatic plant over time with proper care.
