Care guide:

Light:
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some morning sun but avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves. If grown indoors, place near a bright window with filtered light.

Watering:
Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring excess water drains out. Reduce watering in colder months when growth slows.

Soil:
Prefers a well-draining, airy mix. A combination of coconut coir, orchid bark, and perlite provides excellent aeration and moisture retention.

Humidity:
Enjoys moderate to high humidity (50-70%). If the air is dry, mist occasionally, use a humidity tray, or place near a humidifier to encourage healthy growth.
