Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: Bright, indirect light. Her unique texture can burn easily in direct sunlight.
  • Best Room: A bright shelf where her incredible texture can be admired up close.
  • Snacks: A half-strength fertiliser once a month during the growing season.
  • Tropical Feels: Loves humidity! Aim for at least 60% to prevent crispy edges.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep it consistently warm (18–25°C).
  • Thirst: Be careful! She is very sensitive to overwatering. Let the soil dry out significantly.
  • Safety First: Toxic – best kept away from pets and small children.
  • The Bedding: An extremely airy, gritty mix is essential for her roots.
  • Family Tree: Propagate via corms found during repotting.
  • Space Needs: A small variety, usually reaching about 30 cm in height.
  • Speed: A slow grower that rewards patience with stunning leaves.
  • Uninvited Guests: Susceptible to spider mites if the air is too dry.
  • Moving Day: Repot every 1–2 years into a pot only slightly larger.
  • Haircut: Remove older, yellowing leaves at the base with clean snips.
  • Fresh Air: A compact and efficient natural air filter.
  • Plant Lore: The underside of her leaves often features striking red veins for extra drama!
