Care Tips:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

  • Humidity: Requires high humidity levels, ideally above 70%. Regular misting or placement in a humidity tray can help maintain moisture.

  • Watering: Keep the substrate consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use distilled or rainwater to prevent mineral buildup.

  • Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18°C and 24°C (64°F to 75°F).

  • Soil: Prefers a well-draining, acidic substrate. A mix of sphagnum moss and perlite is suitable.
