Care tips

• Water thoroughly, then allow the top 5–7 cm to dry before watering again.
• Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix — potting soil with perlite and orchid bark works well.
• Train stems onto a moss pole for larger, more fenestrated leaves over time.
• Mist regularly or place near a humidifier for optimal growth.
• ⚠️ Keep away from cats and dogs — toxic if ingested by pets.
