This plant requires a stable environment with bright, indirect light and temperatures between 65-75°F. It is essential to maintain humidity levels of 60% or higher to keep the foliage healthy.
Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Using a well-draining soil mix is critical to prevent root rot, as the plant needs moisture without sitting in standing water.
