🌞 Light & Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch delicate velvety leaves. Place in well-lit spots or greenhouse cabinets for optimal growth.
💧 Water & Humidity
Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Loves high humidity (60–80%); mist regularly or use a humidifier to maintain leaf health and velvety texture.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Plant in a chunky, well-draining aroid mix with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir to promote airflow around roots. Repot every 1–2 years in spring as the rhizome grows horizontally.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Toxic if ingested by pets or humans due to calcium oxalate crystals. Keep out of reach of cats, dogs, and children.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Slow to moderate grower. Propagate by rhizome division once established and mature, ideally during spring repotting to create new plants.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and enhance their velvety appearance. Reduce watering in winter but maintain humidity levels consistently.
🐛 Common Issues
Yellowing leaves may indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Watch for spider mites in low humidity environments; treat promptly with neem oil if needed.
