Plant Care Guide
Light: Bright, filtered light
Provide bright indirect light with gentle morning sun. Protect the plant from strong afternoon sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
Water: Regular watering with good drainage
Water thoroughly when the growing medium approaches dryness. Avoid keeping the roots constantly wet, but do not allow the plant to remain severely dehydrated for extended periods during active growth.
Growing medium: Airy and fast-draining
Grow in a small pot with fine orchid bark and a little sphagnum moss, or mount on cork or wood. Mounted plants dry faster and may need more frequent watering.
Humidity: 60–80%
Higher humidity supports healthy growth, especially when paired with excellent airflow. Avoid stagnant, excessively damp conditions.
