Care Guide:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light – avoid strong direct sun

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

• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60%+) – mist or use a humidifier for best results

• Soil: Use a well-draining aroid mix – perlite, orchid bark, and peat or coco coir

• Feeding: Fertilise every 4–6 weeks in spring/summer with a balanced houseplant feed

• Temperature: Likes warmth – ideal range is 18–26°C; avoid cold drafts

• Dormancy: May slow down in winter – reduce watering and expect slower growth

🌿 Tip: Gently wipe leaves to keep that soft velvet look dust-free – and handle with care to avoid damaging the delicate surface.
