Care Guide
  • Care Guide:

  • Best Room: A warm living room or office with filtered light.
  • Snacks: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4 weeks in spring and summer.
  • Tropical Feels: She’s a humidity lover—aim for 60% or higher to keep her happy.
  • Cosy Factor: Thrives in warmth (18–27°C). Protect her from any cold snaps.
  • Thirst: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Let the top 2 cm dry out between waterings.

  • Space Needs: Typically reaches 30–50 cm in height.
  • Speed: Moderate growth rate; she may go dormant in winter.
