Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: She loves bright, indirect light to keep those red tones popping. No direct sun, or she'll lose her glow.
  • Best Room: Living room or a well-lit, steamy bathroom.
  • Snacks: A balanced liquid feed every 4–6 weeks during her growth spurt.
  • Tropical Feels: She’s a humidity lover (60–80% is the goal).
  • Cosy Factor: Keep it between 18–27°C—she hates a cold draft.
  • Thirst: Let the top inch of soil dry out before you go in with the watering can.
  • Safety First: Toxic – best kept out of reach of curious paws and little hands.
  • The Bedding: A chunky, well-draining aroid mix.
  • Family Tree: Propagate by dividing her rhizomes.
  • Space Needs: She stays relatively compact, reaching about 30–60 cm.
  • Speed: A patient, slow-to-moderate grower.
  • Uninvited Guests: Keep an eye out for spider mites and mealybugs.
  • Moving Day: She’ll appreciate a new pot and fresh soil every 1–2 years.
  • Haircut: Snip away older leaves at the base to keep her looking fresh.
  • Fresh Air: A great little air purifier for your home.
  • Plant Lore: Those deep red leaves are said to symbolise mystery and hidden strength.
