A classic velvet-leaf species from the Andean cloud forests of South America, celebrated for its large, deeply cordate leaves with a dark velvety surface and a bold network of crystalline, silver-white venation. This Big size specimen offers an immediately impactful presence, with fully mature leaves and a well-established root system ready to thrive.

• Light: Bright indirect light with up to 70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can bleach the velvety surface and cause irreversible leaf damage.
• Temperature: 65–82°F (18–28°C); a warm tropical grower that prefers stable warmth and dislikes cold drafts or temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
• Humidity: 70–90%; high humidity is essential to maintain the crystalline venation and support healthy new leaf development.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top of the mix begins to dry; never allow roots to sit in saturated media or dry out completely.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a chunky, well-draining aroid mix with perlite or orchid bark for excellent root aeration. Shipped bare root and well-established at approximately 45 cm; plant promptly upon arrival and water generously to rehydrate the roots.
