🌞 Light & Placement

Best in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun to protect delicate leaves. Ideal near east- or north-facing windows or under filtered light.

💧 Water & Humidity

Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry between waterings. Prefers high humidity—mist regularly or use a pebble tray or humidifier during dry seasons.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Plant in a well-draining, airy mix—combining peat, perlite, and orchid bark prevents waterlogging. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Warning: Toxic if ingested by pets or children. Place out of reach to ensure safety.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Slow to moderate grower with a compact, clumping habit. Propagate through rhizome division when repotting—ideal for growing your plant family.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

In winter, reduce watering and avoid cold drafts. Resume regular care in spring as new growth appears.

🐛 Common Issues

• Brown or crispy edges: Caused by low humidity or underwatering.
