🌞 Light & Placement

Best in bright, indirect light to maintain healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Tolerates medium light but avoid direct sun, which may scorch its large leaves.

💧 Water & Humidity

Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep humidity high (60–80%) by misting regularly, using a humidifier, or placing on a pebble tray, especially in drier European indoor climates.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix with coco coir, perlite, and orchid bark. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh soil and promote healthy root growth.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep away from cats, dogs, and small children to prevent irritation or digestive upset.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Produces new leaves frequently in warm seasons. Propagate via tuber division during repotting for new plants. Growth may slow in winter but resumes vigorously in spring.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

Fertilise monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Reduce feeding in autumn and winter. Keep away from cold drafts and maintain temperatures above 16°C.

🐛 Common Issues

• Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or cold stress.
• Crispy edges: Low humidity or underwatering.
• Pests: Watch for spider mites and treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
