Care Information
Light:
Medium to bright, indirect light is ideal. Can tolerate lower light conditions but may reduce variegation intensity. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the delicate leaves.
Water:
Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging, and reduce watering during winter months.
Humidity:
Optimal humidity ranges from 50-70%. Benefits from regular misting or humidity trays, especially during dry periods.
Temperature:
Ideal temperature range is 18-26°C, with a minimum of 15°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
Soil:
Plant in
Aroid Mix for optimal drainage and root health.
Support:
Upright growth habit requires no support initially. May benefit from gentle staking as it grows taller and develops a more substantial trunk.
Fertiliser:
Fertilise regularly with
GT Foliage during the growing season, reducing feeding in winter.
Toxicity: This plant is highly toxic if consumed and can cause severe irritation. Keep well away from children and pets, and wash hands thoroughly after handling.
