Care at a glance
- Water
- Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Light
- Thrives in low to very low light conditions. Direct sunlight will scorch its leaves.
- Humidity
- Tolerates average household humidity well.
- Temperature
- Prefers temperatures between 50-85°F (10-29°C), but can tolerate cooler conditions.
- Soil
- Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for houseplants.
- Fertilizer
- Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring to fall) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
- Toxicity
- Non-toxic to pets and humans.
- Propagation
- Propagate by division, separating clumps of rhizomes with at least one leaf and roots. This is best done during repotting in spring.
