Care Tips:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves, so it's best to keep it in a spot with filtered light.
- Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.
- Humidity: Loves humidity! Mist the leaves regularly or place the plant in a naturally humid environment like a bathroom or near a humidifier.
- Soil: Well-draining, rich, and slightly acidic soil works best to support healthy growth.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Keep away from cold draughts and fluctuating temperatures.
