Botanical Name: Schismatoglottis sarawakensis

Common Name(s): Sarawak Schismatoglottis

Schismatoglottis Sarawak is a unique tropical plant with lush, velvety foliage that has become a favorite among collectors for its exotic look and easygoing nature. Native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia, this plant boasts elongated, lance-shaped leaves with silvery-green patterns on a dark green background, giving it a striking, almost metallic appearance. Sarawak Schismatoglottis is ideal for adding a touch of the tropics to your indoor plant collection and brings a subtle elegance to any indoor space. It thrives as a low-maintenance plant that adapts well to various indoor conditions.

Sarawak Schismatoglottis does best in medium to bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. It prefers well-draining, peat-based soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry. This plant enjoys higher humidity levels, so consider misting it regularly or placing it in a humid spot, such as a bathroom or near a humidifier. It also prefers warm, stable temperatures and should be kept away from drafts or sudden temperature changes.

Air Purifying Qualities:

• Toxin Removal: Schismatoglottis Sarawak contributes to indoor air purification by helping to reduce airborne toxins, such as formaldehyde, making it a healthy addition to any space.
• Oxygen Production: Like other green plants, it absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, promoting fresher and cleaner indoor air.
• Humidity Regulation: This plant helps improve indoor humidity levels slightly through natural transpiration, which is beneficial in dry indoor environments.

Note: Schismatoglottis Sarawak is mildly toxic to pets (cats and dogs) if ingested, causing symptoms such as mouth irritation, drooling, or vomiting. Keep it out of reach of curious pets to avoid any potential health issues.
