Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant foliage. Tolerates medium light but may grow slower. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.

- Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Mist regularly or place near a humidifier to replicate its natural environment.
- Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
- Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, such as one formulated for tropical plants or aroids.
