Plant Care Guide:
Light: Thrives in medium, indirect light. It is perfect for a spot away from a bright window but still filled with soft, ambient light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves.
Water: Prefers consistently moist soil. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. For the happiest plant, use distilled water, rainwater, or filtered water to avoid brown leaf tips caused by sensitivity to minerals and chemicals in tap water.
Humidity: Loves a humid environment. To mimic its native tropical habitat, mist its leaves regularly, place it near a humidifier, or group it with other plants. This will keep its foliage pristine and prevent drying.
Temperature: Enjoys comfortable room temperatures between 65°F - 80°F (18°C - 27°C). Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Soil: A well-draining, peat-based potting mix is ideal.
