Keep soil evenly moist but never waterlogged
Reduce watering in cooler months
Humidity:
Prefers high humidity (60%+) for optimal leaf health
Occasional misting or a humidifier is beneficial
Temperature:
Thrives in warm indoor conditions (18–28°C)
Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations
Soil:
Well-draining aroid mix (bark, perlite, coco peat)
Roots need airflow to prevent rot

Troubleshooting
Yellowing leaves:
Often caused by overwatering or poor drainage. Allow soil to dry slightly and check roots.
Brown tips or edges:
Low humidity or inconsistent watering. Increase humidity and water evenly.
Drooping leaves:
Can indicate underwatering, temperature stress, or sudden environmental changes.
Slow growth or dull leaves:
Usually caused by low light or insufficient nutrients. Move to brighter indirect light and fertilize lightly in the growing season.
