-
Light: Bright, indirect light; a south- or east-facing window with filtered sun is ideal. Strong light promotes robust growth and reliable blooming.
-
Temperature: Intermediate to warm growing. 65–82°F (18–28°C); avoid prolonged exposure above 90°F (32°C).
-
Humidity: 50–70%; ensure good air circulation alongside humidity to prevent fungal issues.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly, then allow the medium to dry almost completely before watering again. Reduce frequency in winter to encourage blooming.
