Care Requirements
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch.
Watering: Keep soil lightly moist. Allow the top 1–2 cm of soil to dry before watering again.
Humidity: Prefers high humidity (above 50–60%). Use pebble trays or humidifiers; avoid direct misting to prevent fungal issues.
Temperature: Maintains best health between 18–26°C (65–78°F). It is sensitive to cold drafts and should not be kept below 10–15°C.
Soil: Use a well-draining, airy mix such as peat-based blends with perlite or orchid bark.
