The Story Behind This Plant

Originating from the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, Jungle Velvet thrives in shaded, humid understories. It prefers bright, indirect light and a consistent warm, humid environment to maintain its rich leaf color and texture.

How to Keep It Happy
  • Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight to protect leaf color.
  • Water: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top half inch feels dry. Filtered water is preferred in hard water areas.
  • Humidity: Medium to high humidity is best. A nearby humidifier or pebble tray helps prevent leaf edges from browning.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix with perlite and orchid bark to maintain healthy roots.
