Morphology
The large, cordate or sagittate leaves grow to a length of 20 to 90 cm (8 to 35 in) on long petioles. Their araceous flowers grow at the end of a short stalk, but are not conspicuous; often hidden behind the leaf petioles.
Cultivation notes
They are tropical plants that are typically grown as pot plants, and can tolerate dim light but cannot withstand direct sunlight. They require weekly leaf cleaning, frequent fertilization, and medium to high humidity. They rarely survive cold winters or the dryness of artificial heating.
