Care guide

SOIL & POTTING
Use a well-draining, chunky soil mix to support airflow and prevent root rot. A blend of indoor potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite works well for healthy root development. Choose a pot with drainage holes and allow the top few inches of soil to dry between waterings.

FERTILIZING
Avoid fertilizing for the first 2–3 months after delivery to allow the plant to adjust and establish. Feed with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the spring and summer growing season. Use a diluted solution to avoid overfeeding and reduce or stop fertilizing in fall and winter.

HUMIDITY & INDOOR TEMPERATURE
Prefers moderate to higher humidity to support larger, more developed foliage. Average indoor humidity is tolerated but may benefit from a humidifier. Keep in temperatures between 65–85°F and protect from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.
