Care at a glance
- Water
- Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.
- Light
- Provide bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light will lead to leggy growth.
- Humidity
- Requires high humidity, ideally above 60%.
- Temperature
- Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
- Soil
- Use a well-draining, aerated potting mix rich in organic matter.
- Fertilizer
- Feed every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted by half.
- Toxicity
- Toxic to pets and humans if ingested, causing oral irritation and digestive upset.
- Propagation
- Propagate by dividing rhizomes or offsets during repotting in spring or early summer. Ensure each division has at least one growth point.
