The plant will do well on a windowsill out of direct sunlight, or a well lit shelf. Avoid radiators.
It does not tolerate cold very well at all, so it's best to keep it above 15C.
It's important not to over-water, as this is the main cause of failure for this plant. Make sure the compost is totally dry before soaking completely. Moderation is absolutely key.
Feed once every second watering during the growing period (late spring to midsummer) with a weak feed solution.
If the light is too strong, the leaves can become 'burnt' and lose their colour.
Also known as Elephants Ear, this shiny iridescent plant originates from Borneo and first became commercially available in Hawaii.
For many years, it was pretty rare and something of a collectors item for plant enthusiasts. These days, it's very common and easily accessible. In a terrarium, it stands out for the sheer black, purple, green and red gloss of its leaves and the way they shimmer and change based on the angle of viewing.
A teriffic house plant for a warm room with lots of indirect sunlight.
