I got mine from Home Depot, the leaves are absolutely gorgeous! She seems to do well in my Western facing window, no direct sunlight. I hope I get some lovely corms this year!

Features
This easy grower is a very adaptable plant indoors. The glossy, dark green leaves are a delight! Leaves start off a lighter green and then turn darker as they mature. This is not a climbing Philodendron, so there is no need to provide any climbing support.

Maintenance Notes:- For optimal performance, keep at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
- Protect furniture when watering.
- Feed once per month at half strength when plant is actively growing.
- Bright filtered light, immitating what this plant receives in nature, is best. But early morning or late afternoon sun is beneficial when growing indoors. Sunny windows are particularly beneficial in the wintertime if you live in an area with shorter, dark days in the winter time.
- Like any aroid, this plant prefers chunky potting mixes that provide plenty of air circulation to the root system. Amending your all-purpose potting mix with perlite and orchid bark is one way to accomplish this.
- Water when the top 1-2 inches of potting mix feels dry. They don't want to be wet all the time, nor do they want to dry out completely.
- These plants prefer high humidity.
