✔ Upright, dramatic grower – ideal for statement pots
✔ Rare and highly prized by collectors
✔ Great for high-humidity rooms or tropical displays

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light – avoid harsh direct sun to prevent leaf scorch

• Watering: Water when the top 2–3cm of soil is dry – keep soil lightly moist but never soggy

• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity – mist frequently or use a humidifier

• Soil: Use a well-draining aroid mix with bark, perlite, and peat

• Feeding: Fertilise every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted fertiliser

• Temperature: Loves warmth – keep in 18–26°C, away from cold drafts

• Dormancy: May slow down or go dormant in winter – reduce watering and avoid repotting

🌿 Tip: Rotate regularly to maintain even growth, and avoid water sitting in the leaf base to prevent rot.
