• Contains 1–5 plantlets; count varies by batch/species.
• Acclimation required: rinse gel, plant in airy mix, high-humidity dome, vent 7–14 days.

🌱 Acclimation Guide (TC only)

1. Rest sealed 24–48h: Keep the vessel upright at room temp (68–78°F) and out of direct sun.
2. Prep your mix: 60–70% airy aroid base (fine bark/perlite/pon) + 30–40% moisture-retentive (coco coir/fine sphag). Moisten to “wrung-out sponge.”
3. Remove & rinse: In clean, lukewarm water gently free all gel from roots. Optional final rinse in fresh water with a drop of peroxide per cup.
4. Pot gently: Set plantlets shallowly; do not bury crowns. Lightly firm media.
5. Humidity dome: Cover with a clear cup or dome. Days 1–3: closed. Days 4–7: open a small vent daily. Days 8–14: increase venting until fully open.
6. Light: Bright, indirect (no direct sun). ~200–400 PPFD or a bright window with sheer.
7. Watering: Keep evenly moist, never waterlogged. Mist media—not foliage—if edges curl from dryness.
8. Feeding: After 2 weeks, begin 1/8–1/4 strength balanced fertilizer every 10–14 days.
9. Transplant: When new roots/leaves harden (2–4 weeks), shift to your standard pot. Maintain humidity + airflow.
