-
Temperature: Warm, stable conditions with temperatures between 21-27°C (70-80°F) during the day and not below 18°C (65°F) at night to maintain optimal growth and venation development.
-
Humidity: Needs high humidity (70-85%). Use a humidifier, water tray, or mist regularly for healthy, glossy leaves.

Watering: Keep soil consistently moist with good drainage. Water when the top layer starts to dry to avoid root rot.
