Light

Bright, indirect light — near an east or north-facing window or filtered from south/west exposure. Avoid direct midday sun.

Water

Keep evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Use room-temperature water and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.

Humidity

Prefers high humidity (50–70%). Increase humidity with a pebble tray, humidifier, or grouping plants.

Temperature

65–80°F (18–27°C). Protect from drafts and temperatures below 60°F (15°C).

Soil & potting

Use a well-draining potting mix (peat-based with perlite or orchid bark). Ensure the pot has drainage holes.

Fertilizer

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring–summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

Toxicity

Mildly toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children.
