Care
Light
Give it bright, indirect light. It loves plenty of light to fuel those big leaves but should be shielded from harsh, direct midday sun.
Water
Keep the soil lightly and evenly moist, watering when the top inch dries. As a big, leafy plant it drinks more than a succulent but still hates soggy roots.
Soil & Feeding
Use a rich but well-draining mix, and give it warmth and humidity if you can. Feed during the active growing season for the biggest leaves.
Quick Tip
It’s a fast grower in warm weather — give it room, wipe the leaves to keep them glossy, and expect it to slow in winter.
