Can tolerate filtered light but will struggle in low light

Avoid direct sun — it can scorch the leaves

Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during active growth

Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly before watering again

Reduce watering in winter during dormancy

Never let the plant sit in water (avoid soggy roots)

Thrives in 65–80°F

Prefers high humidity — mist often or use a pebble tray

Keep away from cold drafts, AC vents, and heaters

❌ Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested

Can cause mouth irritation, drooling, or vomiting

Keep out of reach of curious pets

Comes in a 4” nursery pot

Use well-draining soil (aroid mix or indoor potting mix with perlite)

Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh soil and give roots more space

When repotting, choose a pot just 1–2 inches wider than the current one — going too large can hold excess moisture and lead to root rot

Mature Size: Typically reaches 12 to 24 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide when grown indoors.

The plant remains compact and upright, making it perfect for tabletops, shelves, or tight indoor spaces.

Each new leaf emerges from the center and can reach up to 10 inches long under ideal conditions.

Moderate growth during the warm months (spring and summer).

Slows or may stop entirely during fall and winter, especially in lower light or cooler environments.

Growth resumes when temperatures warm up and daylight increases in spring.

Minimal pruning is required.

Only remove:

• Yellowing or damaged leaves

• Spent or dried-out stems

Use clean, sharp scissors or snips and cut close to the base of the stem.

Regular pruning is not needed to control shape or size — the plant maintains its own structure well.

May go dormant in winter — leaves can die back

Don’t panic! Simply reduce watering and wait for spring growth

New leaves unfurl from the center of the plant

Do not fertilize in winter when growth slows or the plant enters dormancy

Avoid overfeeding — it can lead to salt buildup and leaf browning
