-
Light: Requires bright, indirect light without direct sun exposure. Provide filtered lighting conditions to maintain vibrant leaf coloration and prevent scorching of delicate foliage.
-
Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions with temperatures of 20-28°C (68-82°F). Prefers consistent warmth and protection from cold drafts for optimal leaf development.
-
Humidity: Demands moderate to high humidity levels of 50-70% with good air circulation to promote healthy growth and prevent leaf edge browning.
-
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist during growing season but allow slight drying between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during dormancy period when foliage dies back.
Additional Notes
This tuberous perennial produces heart-shaped leaves with distinctive patterns and coloration. During dormancy, the plant naturally dies back to its tuber and can be stored in a cool, dry location until the next growing season.
