Complete Care Guide

Light Requirements ▼
  • Bright, indirect light enhances the rich emerald green coloring

  • Some morning sun intensifies the green tones beautifully
  • Tolerates medium light better than most textured plants
  • Avoid harsh direct sunlight which can fade the beautiful green color
Watering Instructions ▼
  • Water when soil is dry - thick leaves store water like succulents
  • Allow soil to dry out between waterings for best health
  • Extremely drought-tolerant and forgiving of neglect
  • Avoid getting water on the textured leaves to prevent spotting
  • Reduce watering frequency significantly in winter months
Humidity & Temperature ▼
  • Moderate humidity: 50-60% enhances the quilted texture
  • Temperature range: 65-80°F (18-27°C) with consistent warmth
  • Higher humidity intensifies the rich green coloring
  • Place on humidity trays for optimal texture development
  • Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations
Potting & Fertilizing ▼
  • Use well-draining potting mix to prevent root rot
  • Prefers slightly root-bound conditions for optimal texture
  • Feed monthly during growing season with diluted liquid fertilizer
  • Choose pots with excellent drainage holes

Texture Care & Maintenance ▼
  • Gently brush textured leaves to remove dust from quilted patterns
