Complete Care Guide

Light Requirements ▼
  • Bright, indirect light enhances both emerald tops and burgundy undersides
  • East or west-facing windows provide ideal growing conditions
  • Some morning sun intensifies the burgundy coloring dramatically
  • Tolerates medium light but color contrast may be less pronounced
  • Avoid harsh direct sunlight which can fade the beautiful colors
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 rippled texture
  • Temperature range: 65-80°F (18-27°C) with consistent warmth
  • Higher humidity intensifies the burgundy undersides
  • Place on humidity trays for optimal color 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 coloring
  • Feed monthly during growing season with diluted liquid fertilizer
  • Choose pots with excellent drainage holes
  • Repot only when necessary, every 2-3 years
Propagation & Maintenance ▼
  • Easily propagated from leaf or stem cuttings
  • Single leaves can root and maintain their coloring
  • Gently brush textured leaves to remove dust from ripples
  • Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves at the base
  • Slow-growing but extremely long-lived and colorful
