A remarkable strap-leaf epiphyte from the tropical forests of South America. Even as a seedling, it produces strictly linear, pendulous leaves with no basal lobes, a fine midrib, and a smooth, glossy surface — an unmistakable silhouette that becomes increasingly dramatic as the plant matures.

• Light: Bright filtered light with up to 60–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can bleach and damage the linear leaf surface.
• Temperature: 65–86°F (18–30°C); a warm tropical grower that thrives with stable warmth and no cold drafts.
• Humidity: 70–85%; consistent high humidity supports healthy leaf development and the characteristic glossy surface.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top layer of substrate begins to dry; avoid waterlogging while ensuring roots do not dry out completely.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a chunky, well-draining aroid mix; a hanging basket or elevated mount is ideal to allow the pendulous leaves to cascade freely as the plant matures. Offered as a seedling at approximately 10 cm — an excellent opportunity to grow this iconic strap-leaf species from an early stage. Ships bare root and well-established.
