Soil: Use a chunky, airy aroid mix with potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite.

Temperature: Prefers temperatures around 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below about 60°F.

Pet Safety: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity.

Growth Habit: A large, terrestrial Philodendron with velvety heart-shaped leaves and striking pale veins. Its creeping rhizome grows horizontally along the surface of the soil.
