Care Guide
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. It tolerates medium light and doesn’t require direct sun.
Water: Water when the top layer of soil feels dry. Its tuberous roots help it handle short dry periods, so it’s forgiving if you miss a watering.
Soil: Prefers a light, well-draining mix similar to African violet soil.
Humidity: Comfortable in average household humidity; no special setup needed.
Maintenance: Slow to moderate growth, minimal pruning, and no frequent repotting required.
Notes:
This is a rare plant that looks exotic but behaves easygoing - low effort, low stress, high reward for any indoor plant collection.
