This distinctive species offers a graceful, architectural presence for a tropical plant collection. The Big size option provides a larger plant for collectors seeking a more substantial specimen.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light or filtered shade. Place near an east-facing window or behind a sheer curtain, protected from harsh direct sun.
-
Temperature: Intermediate to warm-growing; 65–82°F (18–28°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
-
Humidity: Preferably 60–80%, with gentle air circulation.
-
Watering: Keep the mix lightly moist, allowing the upper layer to begin drying between waterings. Use an airy, well-draining aroid mix and allow excess water to drain completely.
-
Growth Habit: Upright growth with outward-arching foliage and aerial roots. Provide room around the plant; a moss pole or other root-contact support can help stabilize an elongating stem.
Additional Notes:
Long, narrow green leaves have rounded basal lobes, tapered tips, a prominent pale midrib, and gently rippled surfaces. Protect developing leaves from rubbing against nearby plants, and handle tender new growth carefully as it unfurls.
