-
Light: Bright, indirect light near a filtered east-facing window. Protect from direct midday sun.
-
Temperature: Warm-growing; 68–85°F (20–29°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
-
Humidity: 60–80%, with gentle air circulation.
-
Watering: Keep the medium evenly moist but never waterlogged. Allow the surface to dry slightly between waterings and use an airy, well-draining aroid mix.
-
Growth Habit: Upright, terrestrial growth with leaves emerging from a central stem. A moss pole is generally unnecessary; provide a small support if the stem elongates with maturity.
Additional Notes:
Elongated, heart-shaped leaves display dark olive-green surfaces and strongly contrasting cream-colored branching veins. Rounded upper lobes taper to a long, pointed tip. Leaf shape, color, and vein contrast may vary among individual plants and with maturity.
