• Rare and unique tropical gem, guaranteed to draw compliments.

🌞 Light & Placement

• Bright, indirect light—morning sun filtered by sheer curtains is ideal.
• Avoid scorching afternoon sun behind German south-facing windows.
• Thrives on humidity—place near a bathroom or atop a humidity tray.

💧 Water & Humidity

• Keep soil evenly moist but never waterlogged—allow the top 1 cm to dry before watering.
• High humidity (60–70%) keeps those velvety leaves glossy—mist or use a pebble tray.

🪴 Soil & Potting

• Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix—50% orchid bark, 30% peat, 20% perlite is perfect.
• Recommended to repot every 12–18 months or when roots fill the 6 cm pot.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

• Contains calcium oxalate—**toxic** if ingested; keep away from curious pets or children.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

• Slow grower—the cutest miniature aroid for apartment jungles.
• Propagate via division when repotting—share the love with a friend or grow it out in a bigger pot.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

• Active growth in spring–summer: fertilize monthly with diluted aroid fertilizer.
• Reduce watering in autumn–winter; ensure cooler nights (16–18 °C) to prevent stress.

🐛 Common Issues

• Brown edges = low humidity or inconsistent watering.
• Yellow leaves = overwatering; adjust schedule and ensure drainage.
• Leaf curl = too little light or moisture stress—shift location or mist more.

🧬 Botanical Background
