Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates lower light conditions. Outdoors, does well in filtered shade or dappled sun. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep soil evenly moist during the growing season, but not soggy. Water less frequently in cooler months.

Soil: Grows best in well-draining, airy soil rich in organic matter. A mix of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark is ideal. Make sure containers have good drainage to prevent root rot. Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce or pause feeding during fall and winter when growth slows. Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50% or higher). Tolerates average indoor humidity but thrives with occasional misting or a humidifier. Leaf tips may brown in very dry air.
