Ideal Light & Temperature Conditions

• Thrives in bright, indirect light, but tolerates medium light
• Prefers temperatures between 68-85°F (20-29°C)
• Avoid exposure to cold drafts or sudden temperature drops

Humidity & Air Circulation for Maximum Growth

• Requires moderate to high humidity (50-70%)
• Position near a humidifier or pebble tray if the air is dry
• Good ventilation prevents leaf spotting and fungal infections

When to Repot: Recognizing Physical Signs

• If roots start wrapping around the pot or escaping through drainage holes, repot
• Slower growth and compact root systems suggest a need for fresh soil
• If water drains too quickly or pools at the surface, soil refreshment is necessary

Watering & Soil Preferences

• Water when the top inch of soil feels dry
• Use a well-draining, airy mix with perlite, orchid bark, and peat moss
• Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot and fungal issues

Pest Control: Preventing Infestations Naturally

• Common pests: Thrips and spider mites
• Preventative measures:
• Regularly inspect leaf undersides for early signs of pests
• Use a neem oil spray every few weeks for prevention
• Keep leaves dust-free to discourage pest breeding
