✂️ Care

Low maintenance and suitable for beginners. More light brings out the reddish-brown spots best. Do not plant the rhizome too deep in the substrate. Remove old leaves at the base to make room for new growth.

💡 Planter tip

Its unique mottled pattern makes this plant a real eye-catcher as a solitary plant in the midground. Combine with solid green plants to highlight the pattern.
