-
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the foliage and fade the distinctive corrugated patterns.
-
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18-26°C (65-80°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.
-
Humidity: Requires high humidity levels of 60-80%. Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or group with other tropical plants to maintain adequate moisture levels.
-
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
Additional Notes:
Foliage Characteristics: Features large, heart-shaped leaves with distinctive corrugated texture and prominent venation. The deeply textured surface creates dramatic shadows and highlights, while the robust structure inherited from both parents ensures impressive size potential and ornamental appeal.
