🌞 Light & Placement

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun to prevent scorching delicate variegated foliage. Ideal for bright bathrooms, plant cabinets, or east-facing windows.

💧 Water & Humidity

Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Requires high humidity (above 60–70%) to maintain crisp, healthy leaves. Mist regularly or use a humidifier, especially during dry European winters.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Prefers a chunky, airy aroid mix with peat, perlite, and orchid bark for drainage and root aeration. Repot every 1–2 years to refresh nutrients and support growth.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Toxic to pets if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals. Keep away from cats and dogs to prevent irritation or stomach upset.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Slow-growing with new leaves developing intense dragon scale texture and mint variegation as it matures. Propagate via division of offsets during repotting for best success.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

Reduce watering slightly in winter when growth slows. Maintain stable warmth above 18°C and high humidity to avoid leaf drop or stress. Fertilise monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser.

🐛 Common Issues

Prone to spider mites or thrips in low humidity conditions. Yellowing or browning leaves often indicate overwatering or cold drafts. Inspect regularly and maintain optimal environmental conditions.
