Light

These plants can take a range of light from extremely low light to bright indirect light or direct morning sun.

Water

Water thoroughly, then allow the top 75% of soil to dry out before watering again. Yellow leaves usually indicate overwatering while brown, crispy leaves usually mean the plant needs more water. Keep the soil even drier in lower light. Soggy soil will cause the rhizomes to rot.

Temperature

An ideal range is 60-80 degrees. Keep the plant away from cold drafts, air conditioners, heaters, and fireplaces.

Fertilizer

Fertilize during their active growing season when they are producing new leaves (spring-fall).

Origin

Eastern Africa, from Kenya south to northeastern South Africa
