🌞 Light & Placement

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun to protect delicate velvety leaves. Ideal near east or north-facing windows, or in bright plant cabinets with stable humidity.

💧 Water & Humidity

Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Requires moderate to high humidity (above 60%) to keep foliage healthy and vibrant. Mist regularly or use a humidifier during dry seasons.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Prefers a rich, airy aroid mix with peat, perlite, and orchid bark for optimal drainage and moisture retention. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh nutrients and support growth.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Toxic to pets if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs to avoid irritation or stomach upset.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Moderate-growing with new leaves developing strong veining and velvety texture as it matures. Propagate via division of offsets during repotting to expand your collection.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

Reduce watering slightly in winter when growth slows. Maintain temperatures above 18°C and avoid cold drafts. Fertilise monthly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertiliser to support healthy new growth.

🐛 Common Issues

Prone to spider mites in low humidity conditions. Yellowing leaves often indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Wipe leaves gently to remove dust and maintain their velvety appearance.
