Care at a glance

Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler, darker months.
Light: Provide bright, indirect light; direct sunlight can scorch leaves. An east or north-facing window is ideal.
Humidity: Requires high humidity, ideally above 60%.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C), avoiding sudden drops.
Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix rich in organic matter.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
Toxicity: All parts are toxic if ingested by pets and humans due to calcium oxalate crystals.
Propagation: Propagate by dividing rhizomes during repotting, ensuring each section has at least one growth point.
