Care Guide:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
• Temperature: Thrives in 65–85°F (18–29°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (16°C).
• Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60% or higher) for optimal growth and healthy foliage.
• Soil: Plant in a rich, well-draining aroid mix with potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite.
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
• Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves as needed to encourage healthy new growth.
• Dormancy: Growth may slow or temporarily stop during cooler months. Reduce watering slightly until active growth resumes.
• Propagation: Propagate by dividing rhizomes or offsets during repotting.
