• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sun must be avoided as it will quickly burn the delicate, velvety leaves.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures, ideally between 68-86°F (20-30°C). It is cold-sensitive; keep it above 60°F (15°C).
• Humidity: Requires high humidity, with an ideal range of 60-80%. Using a humidifier or growing it in a terrarium is often necessary to meet this requirement.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of the potting mix feels dry to the touch. Use a loose, well-draining aroid mix to ensure good aeration and prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged.

Additional Notes

As a natural climber, it needs support to reach full size, and it requires consistent warmth and high humidity to thrive indoors. Like many aroids, this plant is considered toxic if ingested, so keep it away from pets and small children.
