Care Tips:

• Light: Low to medium light; avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

• Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Allow the soil to dry out approximately 90% between waterings to prevent overwatering.

• Humidity: Maintain humidity levels above 60% to mimic its native environment.

• Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures; avoid exposure to cold drafts.

• Soil: Use a well-draining mix, such as sphagnum moss or a peat-heavy potting soil.

• Fertilizer: Apply a low-nitrogen fertilizer sparingly during the growing season.

• Airflow: Moderate airflow is beneficial; however, avoid placing the plant in areas with strong drafts.
