Introducing ‘Uplift’—a truly unique tropical plant that’s sure to brighten your space and your mood! Native to the understory of South American forests, ‘Uplift’ is a plant of pure botanical artistry. Its oval-shaped leaves are a beautiful canvas of mottling and marbling in every shade of green, creating a look that’s almost painterly, like an impressionist masterpiece. Under the right conditions, new leaves and stems may even develop delicate pinkish-red undertones for an added pop of color. ‘Uplift’ thrives in bright, indirect light, but should be kept out of direct sunlight. It’s sensitive to cold drafts and soggy soil, so be sure to provide it with consistent moisture and well-draining soil to keep it happy. With proper care, ‘Uplift’ will continue to grow as a living work of art in your home.

Care Information
- For optimal performance, keep at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
- Prefers higher humidity to prevent leaf edges from browning. Leaf damage can occur when humidity levels drop below 45%. Feed once per month at half strength when plant is actively growing.
- This plant prefers bright indirect light, but can tolerate a variety of light conditions. If you notice burnt leaf edges, move it away from direct sunlight. This plant is also good for lower-light spaces, but will grow slower.
- It prefers to be consistently moist, but not wet and needs to have good drainage. It can't take wet soil, but also doesn't tolerate dry soils well. Allow the top inch or so to dry down between waterings. A well draining soil is necessary and the plant should not be allowed to sit in water. Do not allow this plant to dry out completely. Water when the top inch or so has dried down.
- All-purpose potting mixes with additional orchid bark and perlite added is a beneficial growing medium for this plant.
- A pebble tray may help raise localized humidity, but a humidifier is a better option to prevent leaf burn and yellowing.
