      Features

       

      Here is an unusual tropical plant, sure to ‘Uplift’ your spirits! ‘Uplift’ is an understory plant, native to the forests of South America. Each oval-shaped leaf is like a work of art, with mottling or marbling, in every shade of green–almost as if painted by an impressionist. Given the right conditions, new leaves and stems may occasionally exhibit some pinkish-red undertones. ‘Uplift’ needs bright, indirect light, but avoid placing it in direct sun. It detests cold drafts and wet feet. With consistent water and well-draining soil, ‘Uplift’ will grow on like a living masterpiece.

      Maintenance Notes: 
      • For optimal performance, keep at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
      • Prefers higher humidity to prevent leaf edges from browning. Leaf damage can occur when humidity levels drop below 45%.
      • Feed once per month at half strength when plant is actively growing.
      • Protect furniture when watering.
      • This plant prefers bright indirect light, but can tolerate a variety of light conditions. If you notice burnt leaf edges, move it away from direct sunlight. This plant is also good for lower-light spaces, but will grow slower.
      • It prefers to be consistently moist, but not wet and needs to have good drainage. It can't take wet soil, but also doesn't tolerate dry soils well. Allow the top inch or so to dry down between waterings.
      • A well draining soil is necessary and the plant should not be allowed to sit in water. Do not allow this plant to dry out completely. Water when the top inch or so has dried down.
      • All-purpose potting mixes with additional orchid bark and perlite added is a beneficial growing medium for this plant.
      • A pebble tray may help raise localized humidity, but a humidifier is a better option to prevent leaf burn and yellowing.
