How to recognise it

Large, glossy heart-shaped leaves with natural splits and holes (fenestrations) in mature plants
Thick, ridged green stem
Aerial roots emerging from stem nodes
Young leaves lack holes, developing fenestrations as the plant matures
Leathery leaf texture

Care

Keep as a house plant in bright, indirect light, avoiding direct midday sun. Water when the top of the soil feels dry and allow excess water to drain away. Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust. Provide a moss pole or support for aerial roots and climbing growth as the plant matures.
