I got this humongous rojo Congo!  
I cleaned her up a bit and put diatomaceous earth on it (the white powder)  
She's in a corner but the area gets lots of light. Any tips or anything I should know 🥹 I WILL BE GETTING MOSS POLE

😍 Gorgeous. You don't necessarily need a pole for Rojo Congo, they are self-heading. I have seen people use poles for self-heading, as most will climb. They love a lot of humidity, so you may want to have a humidifier, or put it on a misting schedule. The continuous sprayers are worth their weight in gold lol especially if you see a new leaf, as those buggers love to get stuck in the cataphyll
