🛠️ Care Guide
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light—a few hours of gentle morning sun is beneficial but avoid harsh afternoon rays.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 2–3cm of soil feels dry. Ensure excellent drainage.
Humidity: Loves a humid environment—consider grouping with other plants or using a pebble tray.
Feeding: Feed monthly in the growing season with a nitrogen-rich, balanced fertiliser to support those giant leaves.
Top Tip: Wipe down leaves regularly to keep them glossy and free of dust—this helps the plant photosynthesise more efficiently.
