Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2–3 cm to dry slightly between waterings.

Humidity: Requires high humidity for best growth—mist regularly or place near a humidifier.

Soil: Use a rich, well-draining aroid mix containing orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir.

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

Temperature: Maintain between 18–27°C; avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 15°C.

Growth: Upright and elegant, often reaching 60–90 cm indoors under ideal conditions.

🌿 Tip: Clean the leaves regularly to keep their variegation crisp and encourage healthy, vibrant growth. Rotate weekly for even light exposure and balanced shape.
