# Giant leaf insect — care routine

Pulchriphyllium giganteum

## Before arrival

- [ ] Maintain safe accepted browse year round and plan careful nymph management.
- [ ] Wildform proposes 45 × 45 × 60 cm or larger, with grippable branches and at least three adult body lengths of usable hanging room. Keep apart from phasmids that may chew its leaf-like body.
- [ ] Run and record the completed habitat through daytime and overnight conditions before arrival.

## Routine checks

- [ ] Check leaf freshness, visible feeding damage and fine drinking droplets.

## Regular care and records

- [ ] Review nymph growth, usable hanging space and eggs on removed material.

## When to seek help

- [ ] Record moults and successful feeding; repeated falls or failed moults need a review of grip, moisture and climate.
- [ ] Arrange appropriate professional assessment for injury, sudden decline or repeated care problems.
