• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It tolerates partial shade, but direct sunlight will burn the foliage.
• Temperature: Requires a warm and stable environment. Optimal temperatures range between 68-86°F (20-30°C). Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 59°F (15°C).
• Humidity: Needs high ambient humidity, ideally 70% or more, to replicate its tropical habitat. The use of a humidifier is recommended.
• Watering: Keep the substrate consistently moist, but with excellent drainage. Water when the top layer is dry to the touch to prevent root rot.
