-
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal for maintaining healthy growth and good coloration. Avoid direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves, and very low light, which can cause weak, leggy growth.
-
Watering: Keep the soil lightly and evenly moist. Water when the top 2–3 cm (about 1 inch) of soil feels dry. Do not allow the plant to sit in water or dry out completely.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix, such as peat- or coco-coir-based soil amended with perlite or vermiculite. This helps prevent root issues while retaining sufficient moisture.
-
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (around 50–60%). Use a humidifier or humidity tray if needed. Avoid misting directly onto the leaves.
-
Temperature: Grows best in warm, stable conditions between 18–24 °C (65–75 °F). Protect from cold drafts, heaters, and sudden temperature changes.
-
Fertilizing: Feed lightly during the growing season with a diluted balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks. Avoid overfertilizing.
-
Repotting: Repot only when root-bound. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to prevent excess moisture retention.
