Know before you buy
A single-node cutting consists of one leaf and a small segment of the stem containing a growth point, or node. This is the essential part of the plant required to develop new roots and eventually grow into a full specimen.
You can successfully root this cutting in either water or damp sphagnum moss. Place the node in your chosen medium and keep it in a warm spot with bright, indirect light until a healthy root system develops.
This plant prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sun, which can scorch the leaves, but ensure it receives enough ambient brightness to support steady growth.
Yes, like many aroids, this variety appreciates moderate to high humidity. If your home environment is dry, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant in a terrarium or cabinet to help it establish and maintain its large foliage.
While it is a rewarding project, it is best suited for those with some experience in plant care or those willing to research propagation techniques. Because it arrives unrooted, you will need to monitor the moisture levels carefully to ensure the cutting successfully transitions to a potted plant.
