Features

Art Deco^™ Gothic^™ is a tropical masterpiece, embodying all the bold lines and textures of gothic architecture. It has large, arrowhead-shaped leaves of dark green that come to a point, reminiscent in shape to the pointed arches of grand cathedrals. Leaves have an unusual corrugated texture and silvery-green markings down the center of each half, giving them even more dimension and the look of sculpted gothic symbols. Your Gothic^™ Schismatoglottis walichiii can grow to be an impressive 2-3 feet tall and wide–a living sculpture worthy of any gallery.

Maintenance Notes:

For optimal performance, keep your Schismatoglottis at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
Schismatoglottis prefer to grow in medium to bright, indirect light, such as near an east- or west-facing window. They can adapt to growing in lower light, however, growth will be slower and leaves may not get as large. Avoid placing your Schismatoglottis in direct sunlight as it may lead to scorching.
Schismatoglottis prefer humidity above 40%.
Schismatoglottis prefer consistent moisture. As such, water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. If you notice your plant weeping or wilting, it needs water. When watering, allow the soil to become fully saturated, then remove from water immediately, as Schismatoglottis do not like having wet feet, and they are prone to guttation, which can lead to soggy and/or browned leaf tips and edges.
Feed your Schismatoglottis once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does not need to be fertilized.
Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
When repotting your Schismatoglottis, use an all-purpose potting mix, with perlite added to ensure good drainage.
