Care Guide
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves. Can tolerate moderate light but may grow more slowly.
Water: Allow the top layer of the substrate to dry slightly between waterings. Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away. Avoid letting the plant sit in water, as it’s prone to root rot.
Soil: Use a well-draining, airy mix—such as an orchid or epiphyte mix blended with perlite or sphagnum moss—to prevent waterlogging.
Temperature: Keep in warm conditions (18–28°C / 65–82°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier to mimic its tropical environment.
Fertilizer:
Feed monthly during the growing season (spring to early fall) with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in winter.
