🌿 Cercestis mirabilis Care Guide

The Cercestis mirabilis is a true collector’s gem — a climbing aroid with stunning arrow-shaped leaves etched in shimmering silver veins. Elegant, rare, and full of jungle charm, it brings a subtle touch of sophistication and texture to any tropical plant collection.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to keep its silver veins vibrant

• Can handle medium light, but patterns may fade slightly

• Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch delicate foliage

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, letting the top 2–3 cm dry between waterings

• Loves a chunky, airy mix (bark, perlite, coco coir) for excellent drainage

• Avoid waterlogging — this beauty likes moisture, not muddiness

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60%+) to maintain that glossy, textured look

• Mist gently or use a humidifier for lush, full growth

• Dry air can lead to browning or curling at the leaf edges

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer

• Pause feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Give it a moss pole or trellis — it’s a natural climber that loves to stretch upward

• Wipe leaves gently to highlight their silver detailing

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