Best Room: A bright living room or an east/north-facing plant room.

Snacks: Feed her with a balanced fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.

Cosy Factor: Keep her warm, ideally between 18–24°C.

Thirst: Keep her soil lightly moist, letting the top inch dry slightly before watering.

Safety First: Toxic – best kept out of reach of pets and kids.

The Bedding: A chunky, free-draining aroid mix.

Family Tree: Propagate via rhizome division during repotting.

Space Needs: She’ll reach about 40–60 cm in height.

Speed: A moderate grower that rewards good care with stunning leaves.

Uninvited Guests: Watch for spider mites and thrips; she can be a bit sensitive.

Moving Day: Give her a fresh pot and soil every 1–2 years.

Haircut: Remove any yellowing older leaves at the base to focus her energy.

Fresh Air: Good for purifying your indoor air.
