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!
