Plant Care 

Light: Bright indirect light, it will tolerate lower light, but you will lose the pink part of this princess.

Watering: Water when the top inch feels dry to the touch. Give it a good soak and let the water run out the bottom, don't let it sit in water to avoid root rot. 

Temperature: Ideal conditions are 18-29°C These plants prefer things on the warmer side, so not a good choice for a cold conservatory. 

Potting: A well-draining mix is ideal for these plants, our Airy Aroid mix is the perfect match. 

Hot tips: This plant likes to climb so add a little support for a happy plant. 

Pet Friendly: NOPE, but due to leaf size and shape our cat doesn't seem interested in taking a bite.
