Plant Care Guide
Imported Plant Acclimation & Plant Care Guide
This plant ships bareroot. Leaves may appear wilted, yellowed, or stressed from transit - this is expected and does not indicate a damaged plant. Roots are the priority.
Upon Arrival
- Unbox promptly and inspect roots
- Soak roots in room temperature water for 1–2 hours
- Pot in a well-draining chunky aroid mix
- Place in bright indirect light immediately
First 2 Weeks (Acclimation)
- Water lightly — keep mix barely moist
- Maintain humidity 60–70% if possible
- Avoid fertilizing until new growth appears
- Do not repot again during this period
Ongoing Care (Once Established)
- Light: Bright indirect; more light = better variegation retention
- Water: Allow top inch to dry between waterings
- Soil: Chunky, well-aerated aroid mix
- Humidity: 50–70% ideal; mist or use a humidifier if needed
- Temperature: 65–80°F (18–27°C); avoid cold drafts
- Fertilizer: Feed monthly during growing season (spring/summer) with diluted balanced fertilizer
Troubleshooting
- Yellow leaves: Usually overwatering; reduce frequency and ensure drainage
- Brown leaf tips: Low humidity or mineral buildup; increase humidity and use filtered water
- Leggy growth: Insufficient light; move closer to a bright window
- Root rot: Overwatering; repot into fresh mix and reduce watering
