🌱 Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, filtered light. Too much direct sun can damage the soft leaves.

• Water: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep evenly moist but avoid overwatering.

• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Mist regularly or place near a humidifier for best results.

• Temperature: Ideal between 18°C and 27°C (65°F–80°F). Protect from cold drafts.

• Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining mix—combine potting soil with orchid bark, perlite, and coco chips.

• Fertiliser: Feed every 4–5 weeks in the growing season with a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser.

• Pet Friendly: ❌ No. Toxic if ingested by pets.
