It belongs to the family Daphniphyllaceae and the genus Daphniphyllum. This plant is known for its glossy, evergreen leaves and can grow up to 10 meters tall. It has a dormancy period of about 3 months during the winter.
Daphniphyllum macropodum prefers bright, indirect light and should be kept in a location that receives around 6 hours of light daily. It thrives in moderate temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
