Care Guidelines

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight to partial sun. To maintain optimal variegation, provide plenty of bright light, avoiding harsh midday sun which can scorch the lighter foliage.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season. Water thoroughly when the top couple of centimetres of soil feel dry. Reduce watering slightly during the winter months.
Soil: Plant in a rich, fertile, and exceptionally well-draining compost mix.
Temperature & Humidity: Prefers warm temperatures above 15°C and high humidity. Protect thoroughly from frost and freezing temperatures.

Bespoke Care Protocol:

We don't believe in generic advice. Every plant is an individual. Each order includes a bespoke care letter detailing the specific needs of your new companion. It's less of a manual and more of a map for your plant’s future.

A Note on Life, Growth, and Transit:

When you buy a plant, you’re welcoming a living, growing individual into your life, so it may not look exactly like its portrait. Nature rarely repeats itself perfectly. Minor quirks like a brown edge, a dropped leaf, or a recent trim are completely normal, especially after the long journey in a box. These small variations are simply the signature of a plant settling into its new home. We’ll always send you a healthy companion, and it will continue to grow beautifully with a little care.
