☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light

• Avoid direct sun – it can scorch and fade the leaves

• Can survive in medium light but prefers bright filtered light for best color

💧 Watering

• Keep soil lightly moist, not soggy

• Let the top 2–3 cm dry out between watering

• Avoid letting it sit in water – use well-draining pots

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal temp: 20–28°C (68–82°F)

• Requires high humidity (above 60%) to thrive

• Sensitive to cold – avoid temps below 15°C (59°F)

🌱 Soil & Pot

• Use a well-aerated mix: coco coir or peat + perlite + orchid bark

• Must have good drainage to prevent root rot

🌿 Fertilizer

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in the growing season (spring–early autumn) with a diluted balanced fertilizer

• No need to fertilize in winter

✂️ Maintenance

• Wipe glossy leaves gently to maintain shine

• Remove yellow or damaged leaves regularly

• Monitor for pests like spider mites and thrips

🌿 Propagation

• Best propagated by rhizome division during repotting

🐾 Pet Safety
