Care Instructions:

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels; avoid direct sun, which may scorch the leaves.
Soil Needs: Grow in a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A peat-based mix with perlite or orchid bark is ideal.

Humidity: Requires high humidity; mist regularly, use a pebble tray, or place near a humidifier for best results.
Fertilizing: Feed every 2–4 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer.
Pruning: Trim dead or yellowing leaves to maintain appearance and encourage healthy growth.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years in spring when roots become crowded or the plant outgrows its container.
