Schismatoglottis wallichii develops as a basal forest-floor aroid, with green petiolate leaves rising from rhizomatous to stoloniferous growth. New shoots appear from the base and gradually broaden the plant in the pot. Its range from southern Indo-China to western Malesia links the species to moist lowland and lower montane tropical forest. Indoors, the rhizome needs filtered light, steady warmth and a moisture-holding substrate that stays open around the roots.
