This distinctive species features heart-shaped leaves with prominent parallel venation that creates striking linear patterns across the glossy green foliage.
-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light, mimicking its natural epiphytic habitat. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves.
-
Temperature: Thrives in warm and consistent temperatures between 18-26°C (65-79°F). Protect from cold drafts.
-
Humidity: Requires high humidity levels, ideally 60-80%, to maintain healthy foliage and prevent leaf browning.
-
Watering: Keep the potting mix consistently moist but well-draining. Allow slight drying between waterings to prevent root rot.
Additional Notes
Foliage Characteristics: The leaves are distinctly heart-shaped with a glossy, leathery texture. Prominent parallel veins run from the base to the tip of each leaf, creating a beautiful ribbed pattern. The foliage displays excellent structural integrity and maintains an upright to slightly arching growth habit.
