This is a stunning Aroid known for its dramatic size and form. Its leaves are large, paddle-shaped, and deeply ribbed, often likened to the wingspan of an eagle. The leaves emerge small and grow to an impressive size over time, creating a beautiful, rigid rosette structure.

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Higher light levels encourage more compact and rigid growth. Avoid direct, harsh sun which can burn the leaves.
• Temperature: Thrives in a warm, tropical environment, ideally in the range of 60-85°F (16-29°C). Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (16°C).
• Humidity: Appreciates high humidity, around 60% or higher, to achieve maximum leaf size and prevent browning. Regular misting or the use of a humidifier is beneficial.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 2 inches (5 cm) of soil are dry to the touch. This species is relatively drought-tolerant but prefers consistent moisture during the warmer growing season. Use a fast-draining soil mix.

Additional Notes

This plant is highly valued for its striking architectural shape and large, rigid leaves, rather than its inconspicuous flowers. The cultivar name 'Eagle' refers to its impressive, wide leaf shape. The plant is considered toxic if ingested.
