☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain rich colour and strong growth

• Can tolerate medium light, but growth may slow and leaves may stay smaller

• Avoid harsh direct sunlight — its velvety leaves can scorch easily

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, but never soggy

• Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feel dry

• Use a chunky, airy mix (bark, perlite, sphagnum moss) for healthy roots and excellent drainage

🌫️ Humidity

• Loves high humidity (70%+) for those big, glossy leaves

• Mist regularly or use a humidifier to keep it lush and regal

• Dry air can cause brown tips or curled edges

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a gentle, balanced fertilizer

• Pause feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Give it a moss pole or board to support its climbing nature

• Wipe leaves gently to maintain their sheen and dramatic texture

• Not pet-safe — keep out of reach of cats and dogs
