Care Tips

Upon arrival, carefully unpack your rare node or cut stem. Success in propagation depends on providing the right conditions, patience is key!

For Optimal Propagation:

• Medium: Choose your preferred rooting medium:

  • Water: Place the node/cutting in a clear vessel with distilled or filtered water, ensuring at least one node is submerged. Change water every few days.

  • Sphagnum Moss: Place the node/cutting in moist (not soggy) sphagnum moss in a clear container.

  • Perlite/Leca: Use a humid environment with moist perlite or leca.

• Humidity: Provide high humidity (70-90%) using a clear plastic bag, propagation box, or small greenhouse.

• Temperature: Maintain warm temperatures (75-85°F / 24-29°C) consistently.

• Light: Place in a location with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun during propagation.

• Patience: Rooting can take several weeks to a few months. Do not disturb roots frequently.

Once Rooted (after roots are at least 1-2 inches long):

• Potting: Transplant carefully into a well-draining, airy aroid mix (e.g., blend of orchid bark, perlite, coco coir, potting soil).

• Ongoing Care:

  • Light: Continue providing bright, indirect light. Good light is crucial for maintaining variegation.

  • Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry. Allow excess water to drain.

  • Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity.

  • Support: Provide a moss pole or stake as the plant matures to encourage larger leaves and fenestrations.

  • Fertilization: Begin fertilizing lightly once the plant is established and actively growing, using a balanced liquid fertilizer.
