☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to keep foliage lush and full

• Can handle medium light, but growth may slow

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the tender leaves

💧 Water

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

• Use a well-draining, chunky aroid mix (bark, perlite, and coco coir)

• Avoid letting roots sit in water — consistency is key

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60–80%) to maintain smooth, healthy leaves

• Mist lightly or use a humidifier to recreate its rainforest feel

• Dry air can cause leaf edges to brown or curl

🍽️ Feeding

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

• Pause feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Provide a moss pole or climbing support — it loves to climb and stretch

• Wipe leaves gently to keep that glossy, rippled finish

• Not pet-safe — keep away from cats and dogs
