Plant Care
Light: Bright indirect light but will tolerate low light
Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry.
Temperature: This plant is not keen on going below 10C and is also not a fan of being too hot. A good rule of thumb is to keep it in an environment with a temperature you would feel comfortable in.
Potting: A well-draining mix that holds moisture is a great choice for these. Our Airy Aroid mix is a great choice.
Hot tips: Humidity lovers! Great choice to add to your terrarium project or keep in a steamy (bright) bathroom.
Pet Friendly: Yes
