Chlorospatha atropurpurea Culture

Successful cultivation of the striking Chlorospatha atropurpurea. Here are some important cultural tips to ensure its thriving growth:

Light: Chlorospatha atropurpurea prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. A location with filtered light or partial shade is ideal.

Temperature: This species thrives in warm temperatures. Daytime temperatures between 20-30°C (68-86°F) are recommended, with slightly cooler nighttime temperatures around 18-24°C (64-75°F). Avoid exposure to temperatures below 15°C (59°F).

Humidity: High humidity is essential for Chlorospatha atropurpurea. Aim for humidity levels of 60-80%. Regular misting, a humidity tray, or a humidifier can help maintain these levels. 

Watering: Keep the potting mix consistently moist but not waterlogged. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Water thoroughly when the top inch of the substrate begins to dry. Allow excess water to drain away completely.
