🌞 Light & Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation. Place near an east or west-facing window in your German apartment or European home for optimal growth.
💧 Water & Humidity
Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Appreciates moderate humidity (50–70%). Mist occasionally or use a humidifier in drier climates to keep leaves vibrant and healthy.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Prefers a chunky, well-draining aroid mix rich in orchid bark and perlite to encourage strong root systems. Repot every 1–2 years as it rapidly outgrows pots.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Not pet-safe. Keep away from cats, dogs, and small pets as ingestion may cause irritation.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Fast-growing under ideal conditions, reaching over 1m with mature leaves over 50 cm long. Propagate via stem cuttings in water or sphagnum moss to expand your rare plant collection.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Clean leaves regularly to allow maximum photosynthesis. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows. Fertilise monthly during the active growing season for lush variegation and large foliage.
🐛 Common Issues
Watch for spider mites and scale in dry conditions. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot and ensure good air circulation for optimal health.
