⚠️ Note on Natural Variation, Algae & Growing Conditions

Variegation varies from leaf to leaf, ranging from soft marbling to sectoral pink and mint patterns. Each plant is unique but carefully chosen for quality and health.

Plants are shipped in a Fluval and perlite mix to encourage strong root development and acclimation success. Algae may be present in the substrate—this is a normal result of high humidity and poses no risk to the plant.

🌡️ All plants are grown in 70–75°F temperatures and 70–75% humidity. They must be slowly acclimated to household environments over 5–7 days to prevent stress or leaf loss.

🛠️ Care Instructions

Light:
Bright, indirect light is essential to maintain color contrast. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

Water:
Keep in a self-watering container or above a shallow nutrient-enriched water reservoir when using the Fluval/perlite mix. Bottom wicking maintains even moisture without overwatering. Do not let the substrate dry out fully.

Humidity:
Prefers 60–75% humidity. Acclimate slowly if transitioning to normal household air.

Temperature:
Best at 70–80°F. Avoid cold drafts or temperature drops below 60°F.

Soil (if repotting):
When repotting, use a well-draining aroid mix with coco coir, bark, and perlite to maintain proper aeration.

Fertilizer:
Use a balanced liquid fertilizer at ¼–½ strength every 4–6 weeks during the growing season. Avoid overfeeding to prevent stress on variegated tissue.

Dormancy Note:
Growth may slow or pause in cooler months. Reduce watering and stop fertilizing until new growth appears.
