The story

Good posture, burgundy stems

Silky, sword-shaped leaves in grayish green with silver patterning, on burgundy stems with burgundy undersides. A tropical aroid with the posture of good furniture. Slow, steady and not much trouble.

Light

Medium, indirect light. Direct sun bleaches the silver.

Water

Keep the soil lightly moist, never soggy. Water again as soon as the surface starts to dry.

Pot and soil

A moisture-holding but airy mix of potting soil, peat or coir and perlite. It likes humidity.

It's an uncommon aroid that behaves better than most common ones.
