Care Guide

Care Guide:

Sunlight: She loves bright, indirect light. The better the light, the more defined her "stingray" shape will be.

Best Room: A bright office or a sun-filled corner where her silhouette can shine.

Snacks: A balanced liquid fertiliser every 4 weeks during the growing season.

Tropical Feels: High humidity (60%+) prevents her unique "tails" from getting crispy.

Cosy Factor: Keep it warm (18–27°C). She hates cold feet!

Thirst: Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Let the top 2 cm dry out.

Safety First: Toxic – keep out of reach of pets and children.

The Bedding: A chunky, well-draining aroid mix is best.

Family Tree: Propagate via corms or by dividing the base of the plant.

Space Needs: Can grow quite large, reaching up to 1 metre in height.

Speed: A moderate to fast grower in the right conditions.

Uninvited Guests: A known magnet for spider mites—mist her leaves to keep them away!

Moving Day: Repot every 1–2 years in spring.

Haircut: Snip off any tired lower leaves at the base.

Fresh Air: Her large, oddly-shaped leaves are fantastic air purifiers.

Plant Lore: Those long tails aren't just for show—they actually help channel water off the leaf in the wild!
