Basic Care Guide
Light
Position your plant in bright, indirect light. Ideal locations include:
- A few feet from an east-facing window
- Behind sheer curtains in south or west-facing windows
- Under properly positioned grow lights
Water
Allow the top 75% of soil to dry between waterings. While less drought-tolerant than common Monstera, it's susceptible to root rot, so err on the side of underwatering.
Soil
Use a loose, rich, well-draining aroid mix. Create your own by combining:
- Equal parts perlite
- Orchid bark or coco coir
- Indoor potting soil
Pro Tips
- Temperature: Maintain between 68-86°F (20-30°C)
- Humidity: Average household humidity is fine, but higher humidity promotes better growth
- Fertilizer: Apply balanced fertilizer monthly during spring and summer
- Don't worry if it's not perfect
