Care Guide:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the velvety leaves.
- Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy.
- Temperature: Thrives in 65–85°F (18–29°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (16°C).
- Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60–80%) for healthy growth and pristine foliage.
- Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix with orchid bark, perlite, and high-quality potting soil.
- Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
- Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves as needed to encourage healthy new growth.
- Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound using fresh, well-draining soil.
- Propagation: Propagate by dividing mature plants during repotting.
