-
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the delicate foliage and fade the distinctive venation.
-
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18-26°C (65-80°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.
-
Humidity: Requires high humidity levels of 60-80%. Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or group with other tropical plants to maintain adequate moisture levels.
-
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
-
Maintenance: As a baby plant, repot according to growth until it reaches medium size. Provide adequate water, light, and fertilizer, but use less than for adult plants to avoid damaging development.
Additional Notes:
Foliage Characteristics: Features large, heart-shaped leaves with prominent white to light green venation that creates striking contrast against the dark green surface. Even as a seedling, the characteristic vein patterns are clearly visible and will become more pronounced as the plant matures.
