Humidity: Prefers high humidity levels (60%+). Mist regularly or place near a humidifier for best results.

Soil: Use a rich, well-draining aroid mix with perlite, bark, and coco coir.

Feeding: Fertilise every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced houseplant feed.

Temperature: Maintain a warm environment between 18–27°C; protect from cold drafts.
