🌞 Light & Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light—avoid harsh midday sun that may scorch the leaf fuzz. East- or north-facing windows are ideal for balanced growth in European homes.
💧 Water & Humidity
Water when the top 2 cm of soil starts to dry—typically every 7–10 days. Prefers humidity above 60 %—use a pebble tray, misting, or place near other tropical plants to boost moisture.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Plant in an airy, well-draining mix (orchid bark, coco coir, perlite). Repot every 1–2 years or when roots fill the P14 — ensure a snug but comfortable fit.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Contains calcium oxalate—mildly toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and consider placing on higher shelves or stands in family or animal-friendly households.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Slow to moderate grower—gains new leaves steadily under ideal care. Easily propagated via stem cuttings—perfect for sharing plant babies across the EU.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
During winter months (Oct–Mar), maintain indoor temps above 18 °C and reduce watering slightly. Keep humidity consistent—avoid placing near heaters or busy drafty zones.
🐛 Common Issues
- Leaf browning? Often due to low humidity—mist regularly or group with other plants.
- Pale veins or slow growth? Likely insufficient light—move to brighter location.
- Pest alert: Spider mites & mealybugs thrive in dry indoor air—inspect leaves weekly and treat promptly.
