Light

  • Bright, indirect light is best.

  • Avoid harsh midday sun — it can scorch the leaves.

Water

  • Keep soil moist but not soggy.

  • Water when the top inch feels dry.

  • Reduce watering when the plant goes dormant (leaves die back).

Soil

  • Use well-draining, rich soil — a mix of peat or coco coir with perlite works well.

  • Make sure the pot has drainage holes.

Temperature & Humidity

  • Prefers warm (20–30 °C) and humid conditions.

  • Keep away from AC vents or cold drafts.

  • Mist occasionally or use a pebble tray for extra humidity.

Fertilizer

  • Feed every 2–4 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertilizer.

  • Stop feeding during dormancy.

Dormancy

  • When leaves die back, stop watering and let the tuber rest dry.

  • Resume watering when new growth appears.

Tips for Hot Climates (like Dubai)

  • Keep it shaded during midday sun.

  • Monitor watering closely — soil can dry fast in heat.

  • Increase humidity with misting or grouping plants.
