Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: She loves very bright, indirect light. High light is essential to trigger her famous "sun-stressing" colors.
  • Best Room: A bright sunroom or a lounge near a south-facing window with a sheer curtain.
  • Snacks: A balanced liquid fertiliser every 4 weeks during the growing season.
  • Tropical Feels: She is a humidity lover (60%+). High moisture keeps her large leaves from drying at the edges.
  • Cosy Factor: Happy between 20–30°C. She is a heat-seeker and hates the cold!
  • Thirst: Let the top 50% of soil dry out. Her thick leaves store water, but she likes more consistency than thinner varieties.
  • Safety First: Non-toxic – perfectly safe for curious cats, dogs, and children.
  • The Bedding: A chunky, very well-draining aroid-style mix with plenty of orchid bark.
  • Family Tree: Easily propagated from stem cuttings in moist sphagnum moss or water.
  • Space Needs: A vigorous climber that needs a sturdy trellis to support its large, heavy leaves.
  • Speed: A fast grower once established and provided with high light and warmth.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for mealybugs in the leaf nodes.
  • Moving Day: Repot every 2 years in spring; she flowers best when her roots are a bit snug.
  • Haircut: Never prune the flower peduncles! She will bloom repeatedly from the same spots.
  • Fresh Air: A world-class air purifier that fills your room with a sweet fragrance when in bloom.
  • Plant Lore: The "EG 00897" is an accession number, identifying this as a specific, high-quality collector's clone!
