How to recognise it

Glossy, heart-shaped spathe with a central spadix
Thick, leathery dark green leaves on long petioles growing from a basal rosette
Spathe has a distinct waxy sheen and slightly rippled edge
Aerial roots may be visible at the base of the stem
Grown as a pot plant, not usually sold as cut stems

Care

Keep as a houseplant in bright, indirect light, away from cold draughts and direct midday sun. Water when the top of the compost feels dry, allowing excess water to drain away, and mist occasionally to keep humidity up. Wipe the leaves and spathe with a damp cloth to remove dust rather than using leaf shine products.
