Care Essentials for Optimal Growth

Light: Bright, indirect light mimics its cloud forest understory habitat. Protect from direct sun to preserve leaf integrity.

Water: Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top 2cm to dry slightly between waterings.

Humidity: Thrives in 70-80% humidity. High humidity is essential for this cloud forest native—use a humidifier for best results.

Soil: Exceptionally well-draining aroid mix with generous orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. Excellent aeration is critical.

Temperature: Prefers 18-24°C (65-75°F). Protect from temperature fluctuations and cold drafts.

Feeding: Light monthly feeding during growing season with diluted orchid or aroid fertilizer supports healthy leaf development.
