Core Care Guide
- Light: Bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sun, which easily burns the foliage.
- Water: Let the top 1 to 2 inches of soil dry out entirely before watering again. Overwatering leads to root rot quickly.
- Soil: Use a loose, well-draining potting mix containing plenty of perlite or orchid bark.
- Humidity: Medium to high. It appreciates higher ambient humidity but manages well in average household environments.
