Plant Mood Meter: Needs a Little Love
Large roots and foliage are fairly robust, but the plant needs an airy root zone and enough room to avoid chronic wetness.
Care guide
Bright indirect light. Direct sun: Gentle early sun may be tolerated after acclimation; avoid abrupt harsh midday sun.
Water thoroughly after the upper portion of the mix begins to dry; do not keep the thick root system continuously wet.
Very airy aroid mix with chunky bark and mineral aeration.
Average to moderate humidity is usually suitable; additional humidity can improve leaf quality.
No climbing support needed; allow horizontal room for the broad rosette.
