Light: Provide bright, filtered light (3 to 6 feet from an east or west window) to keep its silvery-green coloration vibrant without scorching the leaves.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top 1 to 2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings, as extreme dryness or soggy soil can cause root and corm rot.
Soil & Substrate: Use a chunky, airy, well-draining aroid mix rich in organic matter. Some growers successfully use semi-hydroponic setups like Lechuza Pon or a mix of stratum and perlite.
Humidity & Temperature: Aim for 65–75%+ humidity for optimal growth, though it can tolerate moderate household levels if acclimated. Maintain warm indoor temperatures between 65°F and 82°F.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer at half-strength every two weeks during the spring and summer active growing season, reducing or stopping in winter.
Toxicity: Contains calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic to pets and humans if ingested.
