Care Guide
Light:
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Can tolerate medium light, but best colour develops with brighter conditions. Avoid direct sun, which may scorch leaves.

Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep soil evenly moist but never waterlogged.

Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average indoor conditions.
Temperature:
Thrives between 18–27°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.
Soil:
A well-draining, airy potting mix—ideally one formulated for aroids.
Fertiliser:
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Reduce feeding in cooler months.
Maintenance:
Low maintenance. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves and rotate occasionally for even growth.
Toxicity:
Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
