Aroids are a plant family that includes genera known as Philodendron, Monstera, Anthurium and Spathiphyllum. Here is a brief guide to their cultivation:

Light: They prefer bright indirect light, but can adapt to lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.

Water: Keep the soil slightly moist. Water when the upper part of the substrate is dry. Avoid water stagnation, which can cause root rot.

Humidity: Lovers of high humidity, aroids benefit from a high humidity environment. Misting the leaves or using a humidifier can help maintain optimal conditions.

Temperature: They grow best at temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid temperatures below 10°C and cold draughts.

Soil: Use a well-drained and aerated substrate. A mixture for house plants with added perlite or bark is ideal.

Fertilise: Fertilise with a balanced fertiliser every 2-3 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilisation in winter.
