A space where it can thrive

Your care routine

Light

Bright indirect daylight; avoid harsh afternoon sun and dark room corners.

Watering

Allow the upper quarter of the mix to dry, then soak and drain; never leave roots standing in water.

Soil & drainage

Airy potting mix amended with orchid bark and perlite, in a draining container.

Fertilizer

During active spring and summer growth, use a balanced houseplant fertilizer at the label rate. Reduce or stop feeding when growth slows; never fertilize a dry or stressed root ball.

Temperature

Aim for 18–26°C indoors; protect from cold drafts and sudden changes in temperature.

Humidity

Aim for 50–60% if practical, with ventilation; avoid hot dry vents.

Through the seasons

During darker Metro Vancouver autumn and winter days, check moisture before watering and lengthen the interval as growth slows. Reassess daylight in spring and repot only if roots crowd the container.

When your plant needs help

  • Yellow foliage and soft roots can follow waterlogged mix.
  • Cottony deposits at leaf joints suggest mealybugs; isolate and inspect.

Pets & little ones

Harmful if chewed or ingested; aroid tissues contain irritating calcium oxalate crystals. Keep away from children and pets and avoid sap contact.
