-
Light: Thrives in bright, filtered light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn. East or north-facing windows with diffused light, provide optimal conditions for healthy development.
-
Temperature: Performs best in cool to intermediate ranges: 16-22°C (60-72°F) during day, dropping to 10-16°C (50-60°F) at night.
-
Humidity: Requires high humidity levels between 65-85% with excellent air movement to prevent fungal problems. Use humidity trays or room humidifiers to maintain proper moisture levels around the plant.
-
Watering: Demands constant moisture without waterlogging. Use well-draining, moisture-retentive medium that stays consistently damp but never soggy. The growing medium should never completely dry out.
