Know before you buy
No, this plant is not pet-friendly. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if ingested by pets.
It means the plant should be placed near a window where it receives plenty of natural light, but without the sun's rays hitting the leaves directly, which can cause scorching.
You should keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check the top inch of soil regularly; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water.
While it prefers medium to high humidity, it can adapt to standard indoor conditions. If your home is very dry, you can mist the leaves occasionally or place it near other plants to create a more humid microclimate.
The vibrant red, heart-shaped parts are actually modified leaves called spathes. They act as a protective shield for the small, true flowers located on the central spike.
