Care information

Please read: there is a high chance the leaves fall off in transit, but they regrow rapidly from the rhizomes.

I do not have much info on this plant, but I do know it spreads via rhizomatous runners. The kidney-shaped foliage adds a nice contrast among other leaves.

High humidity
Keep roots from drying out
70°F to 90°F is the likely sweet spot for good growth
Medium light
Organic substrates.

Plant Details
Airflow
Low — Specifically suited for sealed, stagnant environments. These plants do not require active ventilation or fans to prevent bacterial or fungal "melt."
Family
Araliaceae
Growth strategy
Terrestrial
Humidity
80–100% — The "Sweet Spot" for most rare tropicals and shinglers. This high-saturation environment is essential for aerial root attachment to hardscape and ensures that delicate foliage maintains its turgidity and sheen.
Lighting
Bright — Requires high-output lighting to maintain vivid color expression (especially for reds, purples, and variegation) and to ensure shingling habits stay tight and compact.
PH
6.5–7.5 — Neutral: Suitable for hardy species that are less sensitive to water chemistry. This range is common in setups using tap water or inert substrates like clay pebbles and stones.
Sales form

Size
Small
Temperature
65–75°F — Ideal for "Cool-Growers" or highland species. These plants prefer the lower end of the tropical spectrum and may show signs of stress or heat-dropping leaves if temperatures consistently exceed 80°F.
Watering substrate
Saturated — "Wet feet" specialists. These are ideal for bog-like conditions, pond edges, or the lowest, wettest points of a drainage-heavy terrarium or vivarium.
World
Pantropical — Found naturally across the tropics of both hemispheres; not restricted to one. Either widely distributed by nature or so ancient they predate the continental split
